## Description

Few regional airports punch above their weight like Deer Lake (YDF), Newfoundland's second-busiest after St. John's with roughly 300,000 passengers a year. It is the principal air access to western Newfoundland, Corner Brook and the UNESCO World Heritage Gros Morne National Park. Air Canada, WestJet, Porter and PAL Airlines fly year-round, Air Borealis serves northern Labrador, and seasonal charters reach the Caribbean. Crucially, YDF runs its own cargo facility with secure storage and customs brokerage, clearing import and export shipments on site rather than diverting them. Belly freight on passenger services rounds out capacity, while intercontinental volumes still consolidate via St. John's (YYT) or Halifax (YHZ).
