Berens River Airport guide

Berens River Airport (ICAO CYBV) is a small public airfield on the eastern shore of Lake Winnipeg, next to the mouth of the Berens River. It serves the Berens River First Nation and the neighbouring community of Berens River. The field sits at 729 ft (222 m) above sea level.

The Government of Manitoba owns the airport. It has a single crushed-rock runway, 09/27, measuring 2,888 ft (880 m). Statistics Canada recorded 2,096 aircraft movements in 2010. No recent passenger count is published.

Perimeter Aviation flies to Winnipeg, with six flights a week. Northway Aviation links the airport with Bloodvein and Winnipeg/St. Andrews, and Amik Aviation also serves Winnipeg/St. Andrews. Kitchi Airways and Lakeside Aviation are other local operators. An all-weather road from Bloodvein, completed in December 2017, now connects the community to Provincial Road 304, but the airport remains a main link for travel to Winnipeg. Visitors should confirm schedules with the carriers, since this is a remote community airfield rather than a commercial hub.
