## Description

One asphalt runway, 6,000 feet of it, plus a fuel facility and two aprons: that is the working infrastructure of Edson Airport (IATA: YET, ICAO: CYET) in Alberta. Owned and run by the Town of Edson and certified by Transport Canada, the field sits on the Yellowhead Highway roughly 190 kilometres west of Edmonton at an elevation of 928 metres. Fixed-wing and helicopter charter operators use it to serve forestry, petroleum, mining and tourism traffic, and general aviation fills the rest; there is no scheduled airline service. Nor is there a cargo terminal, a customs post or any freighter activity — air freight for the region clears at Edmonton International (YEG), about two hours east by road, with Calgary (YYC) the fallback for intercontinental consignments. The runway comfortably accommodates turboprops and business jets, which is what the local resource industry actually needs. For forwarders, Edson is a crew-and-equipment field rather than a freight point.
