## Description

At Prince Rupert the freight muscle is on the water, not in the sky. The city's Fairview container terminal, linked by CN rail deep into the US Midwest, is one of the West Coast's key deep-sea ports — yet the airport (YPR) sits on Digby Island, reached only by ferry and bus. Air Canada and Central Mountain Air fly mainly to Vancouver with passengers and light belly cargo; there is no freight terminal, integrator or dedicated air-customs operation on site. Genuine air shipments route through Vancouver (YVR). For forwarders, YPR is a passenger feeder beside a major seaport, not an air-cargo gateway.
