## Description

Three dedicated ATR freighters, based at Thompson by Calm Air, make YTH the freight hub of northern Manitoba and the Kivalliq region of Nunavut. From this base the airline flies mining supplies, fresh food, fuel and mail into road-less communities stretching from southern Manitoba to the Arctic Circle. Thompson is itself a Vale nickel-mining town, which adds industrial freight and resupply traffic, while Calm Air and Perimeter Aviation also link the city to Winnipeg with frequent scheduled flights. On the ground, Highway 6 and the Hudson Bay Railway tie Thompson to the south and enable transfers between rail, road and air. Marketed as the "Gateway to the North," the airport consolidates air cargo for a vast, road-scarce catchment, making it a genuine regional freight base rather than a simple feeder. Customs and dangerous-goods handling follow the needs of the northern supply network.
