## Description

Border-crossing truckers, not freighter crews, move most of the goods through Fort Frances, the western-Ontario mill town facing International Falls, Minnesota, across the Rainy River; its large paper mill shut down in 2014. YAG (ICAO: CYAG), run by the town itself, handles regional, charter and medevac flights, with Bearskin Airlines listed for scheduled links to Thunder Bay and Winnipeg at frequencies that change from season to season. There is no freight terminal, no freighter operation and no customs office on the airfield, so air cargo moves at most as belly freight or by charter. The international bridge — a customs crossing for road freight — is the real logistics point here. Forwarder shipments fly via Thunder Bay (YQT), some 340 road kilometres east, and onward to Winnipeg (YWG) or southern Ontario. Planning air freight into this corner of Ontario realistically means trucking from YQT or YWG rather than a direct approach.
