Black Tickle is a fly-in-only coastal Labrador community (pop. 87, 2021 census) with no road access, reachable only by air (Air Borealis Twin Otter, part of its scheduled south-coast Labrador network alongside Cartwright, Charlottetown, Mary's Harbour, Port Hope Simpson, St. Lewis and Goose Bay) or by seasonal ferry (MV Kamutik W, June-November). CCE4 is a Transport Canada Location Identifier rather than a globally assigned ICAO code (CAPA lists ICAO as n/a) — a common situation for small remote registered aerodromes. Passenger totals are not officially published for this micro-strip; figure shown is a rough unsourced estimate.
