## Description

Helicopters lifting skiers into the Selkirk and Monashee peaks, light aircraft and the occasional medevac set the tone at Revelstoke Airport (YRV), tucked into the Columbia River valley in British Columbia. There is no scheduled passenger or cargo service here; the field is built around general aviation and mountain tourism. Air freight for the area is honestly handled through Kelowna (YLW) or Vancouver (YVR) and trucked in along the Trans-Canada Highway. The town's real heavy-freight backbone remains Canadian Pacific's mainline rail, not the airstrip. For forwarders, YRV is a tourism and general-aviation airport rather than a cargo point.
