## Description

Clarence and Abel Swallow Airport is the private company airstrip of the Renard diamond mine in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of northern Quebec, built for the mine's crew changes and supply flights rather than for general goods traffic; it has no IATA code, no scheduled service, no public cargo terminal and no customs post. What matters for classification is the mine's status: Stornoway ended production in January 2025, the site has been on care and maintenance since, and Li-FT Power holds a purchase option whose court approval was required by 10 July 2026. There is therefore no commercial freight relevance for forwarders; air freight in this zone runs through Chibougamau-Chapais (YMT) or Val-d'Or (YVO), the hub of Quebec's mining aviation, with intercontinental shipments handled at Montreal-Mirabel (YMX), where the Canada Border Services Agency clears goods.
