## Description

On Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron – the world's largest freshwater island – the Manitoulin East Municipal Airport (YEM) sits on Highway 6 between Sheguiandah and Manitowaning. It is a general-aviation field with a 1,067 m paved runway, pilot-controlled lighting and Avgas and Jet A-1 fuel, but no scheduled passenger airline. Charter and air-ambulance flights link the island chiefly with Sudbury, the regional centre on the mainland. No freight terminal exists: cargo travels by road over the Little Current swing bridge or the Chi-Cheemaun ferry, and any air freight is consolidated at Sudbury (YSB) and Toronto Pearson (YYZ). For forwarders, YEM handles urgent and light shipments rather than volume cargo.
