## Description

Dean River Airport (IATA: YRD) is a remote strip in the Kimsquit valley on the central coast of British Columbia, Canada, with no scheduled service, no cargo handling and no customs post. It is used by charter and bush flights to fishing camps and for forestry and resupply work, mostly with light aircraft; no commercial goods are transhipped here. Air freight for the central coast runs through Bella Coola (QBC), with Vancouver International (YVR) for larger consignments, alongside coastal shipping and ferry services as the usual supply routes.
