## Description

Straddling the busiest commercial frontier in North America, Windsor International Airport (YQG) sits directly across the river from Detroit and turns that border position into freight business. FedEx signed a 20-year lease in 2015 to run a regional cargo facility here, built on a 2013 federal initiative worth CAD 19.9 million that created a dedicated cargo apron and jobs. Traffic centres on automotive parts, e-commerce parcels and cross-border logistics, helped by direct access to Highway 401 and proximity to Interstate 75. SkyLink Express flies a regional express feeder network from YQG using Cessna 208B Caravans and converted Beech 1900C freighters, while Mexico's Aeronaves TSM operates cross-border cargo flights to points including Laredo, Texas. Ground handling, including ramp services, customs documentation and pallet build-up and breakdown, is provided by operators such as Air-Way Aviation. For forwarders, YQG is a practical cargo node in Ontario's automotive cluster, where air and trucking flows interlock tightly across the Detroit–Windsor crossing.
