## Description

Set in the Bulkley Valley of northwestern British Columbia, about 350 km west of Prince George, Smithers Airport (YYD) is the air gateway for a region built on forestry and mining. Air Canada operates daily links to Vancouver, while Central Mountain Air bases operations here, including a regional air-freight service. Belly cargo on these flights plus CMA's express shipments cover the area's lighter, time-sensitive consignments. Heavier or higher-volume air freight is generally consolidated through Prince George (YXS) or Vancouver (YVR). Bulk timber and mineral output mostly leaves by truck on Highway 16 and by CN rail, leaving YYD as a feeder point for regional express traffic.
