Air Inuit provides the sole scheduled service, linking Schefferville to Sept-Iles with onward connections to Quebec City and Montreal-Trudeau. The airport serves the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach and the Innu community of Matimekush-Lac John in a former Iron Ore Company of Canada mining town that has no road access, reachable only by air or by the Indigenous-owned Tshiuetin Rail Transportation line to Labrador City/Sept-Iles.

Air Inuit
Air Inuit is the sole scheduled carrier serving Schefferville Airport (YKL) and operates its own station inside the airport terminal at 78 Atlantic; it self-handles its own ramp, check-in, and passenger operations there. Airfield infrastructure is run separately by the Societe Aeroportuaire de Schefferville, an airport authority rather than a ground-service company, and no independent third-party ground handler serves visiting aircraft at this remote, rail-isolated community.
