Lac Brochet Airport guide

Lac Brochet Airport (ICAO CZWH) is a small public airport in the boreal forest of northern Manitoba. It sits about 1.9 km east of the community of Lac Brochet, on the north shore of the lake of the same name. Thompson lies roughly 240 km to the southeast. No permanent road links the community to the rest of the province, so the airport is the main year-round connection for the roughly 640 residents of Lac Brochet and the Northlands Denesuline First Nation.

The Government of Manitoba owns the airport. It has a single crushed-rock runway, 03/21, measuring 3,500 ft (1,067 m). The field sits at 1,211 ft (369 m) above sea level. Statistics Canada recorded 1,524 aircraft movements in 2010. No recent passenger count is published.

Perimeter Aviation operates scheduled service to Tadoule Lake, Thompson and Winnipeg. Passengers connect onward from Thompson or Winnipeg to the rest of Canada. Visitors should confirm current schedules and the aerodrome's limited operating hours with the operator, since this is a remote community airfield rather than a commercial hub. The airport has no PPR requirement for the runway.
