## Description

The code YDG, and the ICAO identifier CYID, belong to Digby / Annapolis Regional Airport — a small general-aviation field on the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia rather than the commercial airport the name suggests. It handles private and charter flying only, with no scheduled airline service, no cargo terminal and no customs facility. Air freight from the Annapolis Valley and from the Digby scallop and lobster fishery travels by road, roughly two and a half hours, to Halifax Stanfield International (YHZ). Halifax opened a C$36 million Air Cargo Logistics Park in 2022 with cold storage and an apron for five freighters, and live Nova Scotia lobster dominates its exports, with China the leading market and a Boeing 747 lifting around 120 tonnes per rotation. Moncton (YQM) in New Brunswick is the usable regional alternative, reachable via the Bay of Fundy ferry from Digby to Saint John. For a forwarder, YDG is a general-aviation strip, not a shipping point.
