## Description

Unlike Quebec's freight gateways, Trois-Rivières Airport (YRQ) on the St. Lawrence earns its keep from aircraft maintenance rather than cargo: Premier Aviation runs a large MRO operation here for commercial jets. Most movements are business aviation, charter, flight training and industrial flying, with virtually no scheduled freight service. Forwarders shipping between Montréal and Québec City rely instead on the nearby Montréal-Mirabel (YMX) and Montréal-Trudeau (YUL) hubs, both reachable in about ninety minutes via Autoroute 40. For logistics planning, YRQ is best treated as a technical and industrial site rather than a standalone cargo airport. That said, its St. Lawrence riverfront and local port underline the region's multimodal potential for heavy and project loads.
