## Description

Set at Mile 45 of the Alaska Highway between Taylor and the city of Fort St. John, YXJ pairs a busy regional runway with road and rail links into the Peace River country. It ranks among northern British Columbia's busiest airports, flown by Air Canada, WestJet, Air North and Central Mountain Air, with Executive Flight Centre providing fuel, de-icing and ground handling. The traffic mix leans toward energy-sector personnel and oilfield charters rather than scheduled freight. Cargo moves as belly load and occasional charters; heavy oilfield equipment travels by truck on the highway network. With no integrator terminal on site, forwarders consolidate air freight through Edmonton or Vancouver.
