## Description

Air Canada, PAL Airlines and Pascan are the carriers that keep the Magdalen Islands connected to the Quebec mainland through Îles-de-la-Madeleine Airport (YGR). Operated by Transport Canada as a designated remote airport, it provides year-round transport and supply to the archipelago in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. There is no dedicated freight terminal; urgent goods move as belly cargo on passenger flights, while most of the islands' lobster and snow-crab exports leave by ferry and truck or by sea. Air shipments are consolidated onward through hubs such as Montréal (YUL). For forwarders, YGR is a lifeline and passenger field rather than a cargo handling point.
