The airport also connects to Schefferville, Wabush, Lower North Shore communities, and Anticosti Island through various regional carriers including Air Inuit, Pascan Aviation, and Air Liaison. As a Transport Canada-owned facility opened in 1978, it operates year-round despite harsh North Shore winters. The airport is classified as an airport of entry with CBSA services available on call-out basis from Quebec City for general aviation aircraft up to 15 passengers. Most passenger connections flow through Montreal (YUL) or Quebec City (YQB) for international and transcontinental flights. French is the predominant language, though bilingual signage is present - keep visual watch on departure boards if you don't speak French. Terminal amenities include car rental services, vending machines, and daily parking options. Weather delays are common during winter months due to North Shore conditions. For missed connections, airline counters are staffed during operating hours with Air Canada and PAL being primary carriers.
