## Description

High Level Airport (YOJ/CYOJ) in far northern Alberta works from an asphalt runway of about 1,525 metres, with three weekly Central Mountain Air services from Edmonton as of July 2026 and no cargo terminal. That runway length confines operations to turboprops, so air freight here means small belly consignments and the occasional charter. Sawn timber, drilling equipment and fuel for the oil and gas fields around Rainbow Lake therefore travel south by the Mackenzie Highway and by rail rather than by air. The airport also supports medevac flights and serves in summer as a wildfire suppression base, a role underlined by the 2019 fire that forced the town's evacuation. For planned air freight, forwarders consolidate at Edmonton International (YEG), roughly 700 road kilometres south, where customs clearance, freighter services and cold storage are available. Grande Prairie (YQU) covers northwestern Alberta and Yellowknife (YZF) serves consignments moving further into the Northwest Territories. No permanent customs presence is listed for YOJ, so international shipments are normally cleared at Edmonton or Calgary.
