  "connection_tips": "Matane Airport, also known as Russell-Burnett Airport, serves as a crucial transportation link for the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula region of Quebec, located 3 kilometers east of downtown Matane at an elevation of 103 feet above sea level. The airport operates with a single 5,500-foot asphalt runway (09/27) that can accommodate certified aircraft, amateur-built planes, ultralights, and helicopters, making it versatile for various aviation needs. As a registered municipal aerodrome, the facility maintains year-round operations with winter runway clearing typically completed within half a day after storm systems pass through the region.\n\nThe airport features dual windsocks positioned at the touchdown zones and provides accessible troubleshooting equipment including standard automotive-grade tools for aircraft maintenance needs. Operating under 24/7 contact availability through cell service (418 560-2271), the airport ensures continuous operational support for arrivals and departures. Flight connections include 14 routes to 7 different cities across eastern Canada, with popular destinations including Gasp\u00e9, Baie-Comeau, Quebec City, Sept-\u00celes, and Fredericton, primarily served by regional turboprop aircraft.\n\nThe airport lacks dedicated METAR weather reporting, requiring pilots to reference conditions from Mont-Joli Airport located 33 nautical miles away, which necessitates careful weather planning for Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula conditions. Given the coastal location along the Gulf of St. Lawrence, travelers should anticipate potential weather delays during winter storms and fog events common to maritime environments. The compact terminal offers basic amenities with minimal waiting areas, requiring quick turnarounds and advance coordination for connections, particularly during peak summer tourism season when traffic to Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula destinations increases significantly.",

  "terminal_info": "Matane/Russell-Burnett Airport is the Ville de Matane's registered public airport on the St. Lawrence side of the Gaspe region, with a 5,500 x 150 ft asphalt runway 09/27, bilingual services, PAPI on both ends, 100LL and Jet A-1, and extended parking, tie-down, and plug-in support. Those are specific field capabilities, not generic filler.\n\nSkyVector also lists nearby taxi, car rental, accommodations, food, and medical aid within 5 NM, which matches the airport's practical role as a small but fully usable coastal gateway. Winter maintenance is published as limited, and fuel and service notes include prior-notice and possible call-out conditions, reflecting the airport's municipal scale.\n\nThe airport's importance comes from location. Matane sits on a key St. Lawrence crossing point and route into the Gaspe peninsula, so CYME works as a regional access airfield for business, charter, and emergency use rather than as a conventional airline terminal.",
