## Description

Sherbrooke is a substantial city, yet for air cargo it deliberately defers to its larger neighbours: the dedicated freighter airport at Montreal-Mirabel and the hub at Montreal-Trudeau lie only about 150 kilometres away. Sherbrooke Airport (YSC) accordingly serves general aviation, flight training and business or charter flying rather than scheduled freight. There is no line-haul cargo terminal here; integrators such as FedEx, UPS and Purolator cover the Eastern Townships by road from their Montreal facilities. The local economy — the Université de Sherbrooke, microelectronics and precision manufacturing — channels its air-freight needs through Mirabel. Highways 10 and 55 give the city fast trucking links to Montreal and onward to the US border. For forwarders, YSC is best understood as a feeder point, not a cargo destination.
