Churchill Airport (YYQ) is a small regional airport about 7 km southeast of Churchill, Manitoba, on the shores of Hudson Bay. It serves as the main year-round air gateway to the Churchill region, with scheduled flights primarily to Winnipeg and seasonal or charter connections. The airport supports polar bear tourism, beluga whale watching, northern research, and freight operations.
💡 Local Tip
During October–November polar bear season, the terminal and taxis get busy—check in early and confirm your return ride before you leave for the airport.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis are usually available at the terminal, but pre-booking is wise for early or late arrivals and during polar bear season. Hotel shuttles can often be arranged; there is no ride-hailing or regular bus service. Allow extra time in winter, as icy roads and weather can slow the short drive from town.
