Hudson Bay Airport (YHB/CYHB) is a small public aerodrome serving Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan, in Canada’s east-central boreal forest region. Located just outside the town near the Manitoba border, it primarily supports general aviation, charter flights, air ambulance, and recreational flying rather than scheduled airline service. Its single runway and basic facilities make it a convenient local access point for the surrounding rural and resource communities.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to call ahead about runway conditions and fuel availability, especially in winter and after heavy rain; services at small Saskatchewan airports can be limited or seasonal. If you’re heading into the Pasquia Hills or nearby boreal forest, also ask locally about wildlife on or near the runway at dawn and dusk.
🚖 Getting There
Ground transportation is limited; the airport is a short drive from Hudson Bay, so pre-arrange a vehicle, taxi, or pickup. In winter, allow extra time for snow-covered or icy roads and verify runway access. For commercial connections, most travellers drive to larger centres such as Yorkton, Prince Albert, or Saskatoon.
