## Description

No scheduled flight has departed Dryden Regional Airport (IATA: YHD, ICAO: CYHD) in northwestern Ontario since 11 May 2024, when Bearskin Airlines — a division of Perimeter Aviation — withdrew from Dryden, Kenora and Fort Frances after averaging just two passengers per flight. What remains is charter and business aviation, medevac and government flying, and general aviation at a field roughly 413 metres above sea level directly on Trans-Canada Highway 17. There is no cargo terminal, no commercial air-freight handling and no permanent customs post, so goods for this pulp-and-paper town travel by road. Shipments consolidate through Thunder Bay (YQT) about 340 km east or Winnipeg (YWG) about 350 km west and are trucked in from there. Winnipeg offers the broader freight network and customs clearance, Thunder Bay the shorter run into the rest of Ontario. Since losing service, the affected communities have been jointly examining how to bring commercial scheduled flights back to the region.
