## Description

Eastmain River Airport (ZEM, CZEM) serves a Cree community on James Bay in northern Quebec and is worked by regional feeder and on-demand flights with small aircraft. There is no cargo terminal, no professional ground handling and no customs post; air freight here means supplies carried as loose consignments, while heavy loads travel on the James Bay road network. For customs clearance and international air cargo, Montréal-Trudeau (YUL) and the freight airport at Mirabel (YMX) are the relevant points, with Val-d'Or (YVO) acting as the regional pivot.
