## Description

The three letters YQR identify Regina International Airport, the air hub of Saskatchewan's provincial capital and the busiest freight point in the prairie belt between Winnipeg and Calgary. Dedicated cargo facilities handle courier and express traffic, including Purolator, while belly capacity on passenger jets to Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver carries general freight. Sitting on the Trans-Canada Highway and served by CN and CP main lines, Regina ties air cargo tightly to road and rail. The surrounding economy — wheat, canola and potash — shapes much of what moves through. For forwarders, YQR is a dependable secondary node for time-critical shipments, with intercontinental full freighters still routing via the larger Ontario and Alberta facilities.
