## Description

Mining for zinc and copper and a forestry economy shape Matagami in northern Quebec, the town where the Billy-Diamond (James Bay) Highway begins its long run north. Its airport (YNM) is served by Air Creebec, the Cree-owned regional carrier linking the community to Val-d'Or and Montreal. The paved runway handles scheduled, charter and supply flights but has no dedicated cargo terminal. Heavy mine and forestry freight moves by truck along the highway, while urgent air shipments ride as belly cargo and consolidate at Val-d'Or (YVO) or the Montréal-Mirabel (YMX) cargo base. For forwarders, YNM is a northern staging point backed by road haulage rather than an air-freight platform.
