## Description

Private-jet operators and regional charter firms are the main users of Charlevoix Airport (YML/CYML), the field serving the resort country around La Malbaie in Quebec from a plateau roughly 977 feet above the St. Lawrence River. Traffic leans heavily toward tourism and business aviation, tied to the Manoir Richelieu, the Casino de Charlevoix and the Le Massif ski area within a UNESCO biosphere reserve. No scheduled freight operates here and there is no dedicated cargo terminal; regional goods move by road along Route 138. Air cargo for Charlevoix is normally handled at Québec City (YQB), some 150 kilometres to the southwest, with Montréal-Mirabel (YMX) the option for freighter shipments and outsize consignments. A permanent customs presence at the field is not confirmed, so import consignments should be planned for clearance at one of those two airports. For freight forwarders, YML is a tourism-driven regional strip whose value lies in passenger and business travel rather than cargo.
