## Description

Built around the Athabasca oil sands, Fort McMurray is northern Alberta's energy capital, and its airport handled roughly 340,000 passengers in 2025, with about 365,000 forecast for 2026. Fort McMurray International (IATA: YMM, ICAO: CYMM) moves air cargo mainly as belly freight on Air Canada and WestJet services and through energy-sector charters carrying fly-in/fly-out crews and equipment; no regular freighter operation is documented, so dedicated capacity is limited. Air Canada added a non-stop link to Vancouver in 2025, noticeably improving national connectivity, and turboprop feeders depart here for remote communities such as Fort Chipewyan. Highway 63 to Edmonton (YEG), roughly 440 kilometres south, and the CN rail line carry heavy and bulk freight overland, with Edmonton acting as the international cargo gateway. Customs facilities allow cross-border shipments to clear locally. For forwarders, YMM is the delivery end of a chain that starts in Edmonton rather than a freight hub in its own right.
