## Description

Air Canada Express and WestJet anchor passenger service at London International Airport (YXU), but the field is equally a working freight point. Transport Canada classifies it as an airport of entry for both passengers and cargo, giving it on-site customs for international shipments. Alongside the scheduled airlines and seasonal Air Transat flights, London serves cargo carriers and feeder operators. The surrounding southwestern Ontario region links to Toronto and the Windsor–Detroit border via Highway 401 and rail, supporting multimodal freight. London is also a centre of the aviation industry, with aircraft manufacturing and heavy maintenance based here. Full-freighter intercontinental volumes are consolidated through Toronto Pearson (YYZ). That mix of customs status and industrial base gives YXU real cargo standing.
