Makkovik Airport guide

Makkovik Airport (IATA YMN, ICAO CYFT) serves the town of Makkovik on the northern coast of Labrador. The town had 365 residents at the 2021 census and sits about 215 km northeast of Happy Valley-Goose Bay. No road reaches Makkovik, which is accessible only by air or sea, and in summer a ferry calls at the port. The airport provides year-round air travel for the community.

The single runway, 09/27, is gravel and measures 2,592 feet by 75 feet (790 m by 23 m). Both runway ends have runway identification lights and APAPI visual approach slope indicators. The field sits 231 feet above sea level, about 0.5 nautical miles west of the town.

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador operates the airport as one of the 12 community airstrips in coastal Labrador that the province is responsible for. Air Borealis flies scheduled services from Makkovik to Goose Bay, Hopedale, Nain, Natuashish, Postville and Rigolet. The nearest airports with instrument procedures are Postville, about 23 nautical miles to the west, and Hopedale, about 42 nautical miles to the northwest.
