## Description

Bearskin Airlines anchors scheduled service at Greenstone Regional, linking the mining town of Geraldton to Thunder Bay and onward points across northwestern Ontario. The single runway (08/26) handles regional turboprops rather than freighters, and there is no dedicated cargo terminal on site. Output from the Hardrock gold project and the surrounding forestry sector moves overland on Trans-Canada Highway 11 and by rail. Shippers needing airlift consolidate at Thunder Bay Airport (YQT) or Toronto Pearson. For freight forwarders, YGQ is a passenger and small-parcel feeder, not a cargo gateway.
