## Description

Hangars, a flight school and aerospace workshops ring the apron at Summerside Airport (YSU), the civil successor to the former CFB Summerside air base on Prince Edward Island. Set within the Slemon Park business and aerospace estate, the field hosts maintenance firms, pilot training and charter and air-ambulance flights rather than scheduled airline service. It has no freighter operations or dedicated cargo terminal, functioning instead as a general-aviation and industrial site. Air freight for the island is handled through Charlottetown (YYG) and, on the mainland, through the Atlantic cargo node at Moncton (YQM) and Halifax (YHZ). Slemon Park's aerospace tenants keep the location relevant to PEI's industrial economy.
