## Description

Live lobster bound for export markets is among the most valuable freight leaving Moncton: in 2018, sixteen dedicated freighter flights by Kalitta Air and Ethiopian Airlines carried close to 1,000 tonnes of Atlantic lobster to China and Europe. Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport (YQM) handled roughly 20,400 tonnes of cargo in 2020, making it one of the busiest freight airports in Atlantic Canada. Four integrators — CargoJet, FedEx, Purolator and UPS — run their own facilities on site, anchoring an overnight express and e-commerce operation. Customs clearance is provided by the Canada Border Services Agency, with bonded capacity for time- and temperature-critical perishables. The Trans-Canada Highway links the airport to Halifax and the port of Saint John, supporting combined air-sea routings for forwarders. Beyond express traffic, YQM serves as a dependable diversion and refuelling point for transatlantic flights. For logistics professionals, it is the Maritimes' principal node for express parcels and seafood exports.
