## Description

Floatplanes, fishing charters and a Pacific Coastal turboprop on the apron: Port Hardy (YZT) sits at the rugged northern tip of Vancouver Island, about 10 km from town. The airport is the main air gateway for the Mount Waddington district, with several daily flights to Vancouver carrying passengers and light belly shipments. It has no freight terminal, integrators or customs facilities, so genuine air cargo routes through Vancouver (YVR) before reaching the island by road or ferry. Forwarders should treat YZT as a regional feeder rather than a cargo point.
