## Description

Cowley Airport (YYM, ICAO CYYM) is a small field in southern Alberta near the Crowsnest Pass, at about 1,180 metres elevation, best known as a gliding site with reliable mountain wave conditions. It has no scheduled service, no freight handling, no customs post and no temperature-controlled storage, so its cargo relevance is nil. Air freight for the region is handled at Calgary (YYC), roughly 200 kilometres north-east, with Lethbridge (YQL) or Cranbrook (YXC) as options for smaller consignments.
