## Description

A dedicated cargo terminal with on-site warehousing, courier handling and customs brokerage gives Victoria International Airport (YYJ) genuine air-freight capability beyond its busy passenger role. Serving the British Columbia capital region on Vancouver Island, YYJ is flown by Air Canada, WestJet, Alaska Airlines, Flair, Air North and Central Mountain Air, whose bellyhold space carries most of the cargo alongside express and courier feeders. Freight capacity swings sharply with the seasons, so forwarders are advised to book early during the summer and holiday peaks. Highway 17 and the nearby BC Ferries terminal at Swartz Bay tie the airport into a multimodal link with the mainland and the Vancouver (YVR) cargo hub. International consignments clear customs through the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The airport also hosts maintenance providers, flight schools and logistics firms that round out its role on the island.
