## Description

Forestville is a forestry town on the north shore of the St. Lawrence in Quebec's Côte-Nord region, and its airport (IATA: YFE, ICAO: CYFE) matches that scale: a small regional field with no scheduled airline service, used for private, charter and medevac flights. There is no cargo terminal, no dangerous-goods handling and no customs post. The ferry across the river to Rimouski, which would cut several hundred kilometres off the detour via Quebec City, has been out of service for years — the replacement vessel Le H.-Journault, built for 300 passengers and 90 vehicles, was meant to start in summer 2026, but its delivery voyage from Greece slipped repeatedly and a confirmed restart was still outstanding in August 2026. Route 138 along the coast therefore remains the only dependable land link for the district's timber and forest-products businesses. Forwarders route air freight through Baie-Comeau (IATA: YBC), roughly 100 kilometres to the north-east with scheduled service, or through Quebec City Jean Lesage (IATA: YQB) to the south-west. For intercontinental shipments and freighter traffic, Montreal-Mirabel (IATA: YMX) is the province's reference point, and also where the Canada Border Services Agency clears goods.
