Churchill Falls Airport guide

Churchill Falls Airport (ICAO CZUM) sits about 7 kilometres northwest of Churchill Falls, a company town in western Labrador built around the Churchill Falls hydroelectric generating station. The nearest larger centres, Labrador City and Happy Valley-Goose Bay, are a long drive away on the Trans-Labrador Highway, so the airport is the town's main scheduled air link.

A single asphalt runway, 13/31, measures 5,500 by 148 feet and handles regional turboprop traffic. The field sits at 1,437 feet above sea level. There is no formal terminal building; the site has four small structures. Churchill Falls Labrador Corporation Limited owns and operates the airport.

PAL Airlines flies scheduled service from the airport to Goose Bay and Wabush. Traffic is light, and the airport has no passenger terminal, so travellers should expect a very small facility rather than the services found at a larger regional field. The runway's length suits turboprop aircraft such as those PAL Airlines operates on its Labrador routes, and the airport serves residents, utility staff and visitors to the town. Wikipedia records about 1,400 passengers a year between 2000 and 2003, and no later figure is published.
