## Description

Wawa Airport (YXZ) on the eastern shore of Lake Superior is a small general-aviation and charter field, not a cargo facility, and carries no scheduled airline or freight service. Goods for the area move along the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 17) that passes through Wawa, supplemented by larger centres nearby. Air freight is handled through Sault Ste. Marie (YAM) about 230 km to the south, or via Thunder Bay. For forwarders, YXZ is a road-fed delivery point rather than a standalone cargo airport. It mainly supports bush flying and wildfire-suppression work across the sparsely populated north.
