## Description

Lobster, mussels and other Prince Edward Island seafood are the freight that defines Charlottetown Airport (YYG/CYYG), the Alexander B. Campbell field about three nautical miles north of the provincial capital and the island's only air gateway. The airport handled 391,086 passengers in 2025, down 4.8 percent on 2024 with roughly seven percent less seat capacity, and the airport authority puts its total economic impact above CAD 366 million. Air Canada and WestJet fly daily year-round to Ottawa, Montréal and Toronto, and the adjoining North Rust Point freight terminal handles modest volumes, almost entirely belly cargo for local exporters rather than freighter loads. Capacity is limited and tightens during the summer and lobster seasons, so heavier consignments move by road across the Confederation Bridge to Halifax (YHZ), some 300 kilometres away. With Canada Border Services Agency officers on site, YYG is an airport of entry offering customs clearance locally. For forwarders it is a genuine but small-scale belly-freight point for temperature-controlled perishables rather than a dedicated cargo hub.
