## Description

Air Canada Express, Porter, WestJet and Bearskin Airlines anchor the schedule at Sudbury Airport (YSB), eleven nautical miles northeast of the Northern Ontario city. The two-runway field — the longer strip at 2,012 metres — handles regional jets and turboprops carrying passengers and belly freight. Sudbury sits at the centre of one of the planet's great nickel and copper districts, home to Vale and Glencore operations, yet its air cargo is limited to courier and express traffic rather than scheduled freighters, and there is no dedicated cargo terminal. Heavy or time-critical mining-supply air freight moves through Toronto Pearson (YYZ), about four hours south by Highway 69/400. Express carriers such as Purolator serve the city via regional feeders, making YSB a connector to the national network rather than a freight hub.
