## Description

Havre-Saint-Pierre Airport (IATA: YGV, ICAO: CYGV) is the supply link for Quebec's Minganie region, Anticosti Island and the remote communities toward Labrador, where Route 138 runs out and winter leaves neither a through road nor regular shipping. The field is among the airports administered by Transport Canada and is served by regional carriers on scheduled and charter flights that also carry general cargo, mail, foodstuffs and medical consignments. There is no dedicated freight terminal, no freighter service and no customs facility for international imports; cargo travels as belly load in turboprop aircraft and is bound by their weight and volume limits. Mining, fisheries and the resupply of coastal settlements shape demand, with heavy loads arriving by sea and coastal shipping during the ice-free months. Practical air cargo gateways are Sept-Iles (YZV) roughly 220 road kilometres west and Quebec City Jean-Lesage (YQB), with Montreal-Trudeau (YUL) for intercontinental traffic. In planning terms, small and time-critical items fly into YGV while anything larger is routed via Sept-Iles or by ship.
