## Description

A single paved runway, an airtanker base and hangars for general aviation define Slave Lake Airport (YZH) in northern Alberta. The facility serves the province's wildfire-fighting fleet in summer and otherwise handles private flying, medevac and charter traffic linked to the area's forestry and oil sectors. There is no scheduled passenger or cargo airline; regional air freight is consolidated at Edmonton (YEG) some 250 km to the south. Timber and energy-sector goods leave the Lesser Slave Lake area mainly by truck on Highway 2 and by rail. For freight forwarders, YZH functions as an operational airfield rather than a cargo point.
