Wemindji Airport guide

Wemindji Airport (IATA: YNC, ICAO: CYNC) serves the Cree community of Wemindji on the east coast of James Bay in northern Quebec. The airfield lies about 1.6 km northwest of the village. A gravel road has linked Wemindji to the James Bay Road since 1995, but the airport remains the community's main link to Montreal and the rest of the Eeyou Istchee region.

The airport has one gravel runway, 10/28, measuring 1,070 m (3,511 ft) by about 30 m. Elevation is 20 m above sea level. Transport Canada owns and operates the airport, and the Cree Nation of Wemindji handles day-to-day maintenance. It is designated a remote airport under the National Airports Policy and was one of 11 airports in northern Quebec that Transport Canada and the Government of Quebec agreed to build in 1983 under the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement.

Air Creebec flies scheduled services. The terminal is open 8:00 am to 4:00 pm daily and has automatic doors, wheelchair service and free parking. It has no food services, vending machines, car rental or taxi service. Statistics Canada recorded 1,605 aircraft movements in 2018. Passenger figures are not published.
