## Description

Built around the Athabasca oil sands, Fort McMurray is northern Alberta's energy capital, and its airport works at a scale no nearby field matches. YMM pairs a modern passenger terminal, opened in 2014, with a dedicated cargo terminal; Air Canada Cargo and WestJet Cargo both serve the station. Much of the traffic is energy-sector charter — fly-in/fly-out crews and equipment for the oil sands operations to the north. Turboprop feeders also depart here for remote communities such as Fort Chipewyan. Highway 63 to Edmonton (YEG) and the CN rail line carry heavy and bulk freight overland, with Edmonton acting as the wider international cargo gateway. A customs facility lets cross-border shipments clear locally.
