Airport contact
Moosonee Airport is the principal fly-in air gateway for the western James Bay coast, serving as the transfer point between road/rail transport (it is the northern railhead of Ontario Northland's Polar Bear Express, as Moosonee itself has no road access) and scheduled flights to fully fly-in First Nation/Cree communities such as Fort Albany, Kashechewan and Attawapiskat. Air Creebec and Thunder Airlines are the resident scheduled carriers, operating turboprop equipment (e.g. Dash 8, Beechcraft 1900) from the field's paved primary runway.
