## Description

Where the Mingan Archipelago meets the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Havre-Saint-Pierre Airport (YGV) handles the regional passenger traffic of Québec's remote Côte-Nord. PAL Airlines and Air Liaison link the town to Sept-Îles and the provincial network, serving residents, mine workers and seasonal visitors to the national park reserve. Despite the nearby Tio ilmenite mine, the airport operates no dedicated cargo terminal — the ore moves out by ship, not by air. Freight forwarders route time-critical air shipments through Montréal-Mirabel (YMX), then truck them the long stretch along Route 138. For the North Shore, the road remains the practical freight lifeline.
