Schefferville Airport guide

Schefferville Airport (ICAO CYKL) serves the community of Schefferville in northeastern Quebec, close to the Labrador border. It sits at an elevation of 521 metres (1,709 feet) and has one asphalt runway, 17/35, measuring 1,525 metres (5,002 feet). The Société aéroportuaire de Schefferville operates it.

Schefferville has no road link to the provincial network. The town began in 1954 as a company town for iron ore mining, and mining ended in 1982. Today the airport and the Tshiuetin railway to Sept-Îles, about 533 km to the south, are the two ways in and out. The runway and a water aerodrome at Squaw Lake handle flights that carry passengers, freight and supplies to the region.

Air Inuit operates the scheduled passenger service. Its published destinations are Montréal-Trudeau, Québec City and Sept-Îles, though some sources show non-stop flights only to Sept-Îles, with the other cities reached through a stopover. Check the airline for the current schedule. The airport publishes no passenger statistics that could be confirmed, so none are listed here.
