Owned and operated by Hydro-Québec to support its Nemiscau/Albanel substations, with Air Creebec providing the only scheduled passenger service (to Chibougamau and Montréal–Trudeau) at Hydro-Québec's discretion. The airport keeps the historic 'Nemiscau' name and serves the James Bay Cree community of Nemaska (renamed from Nemiscau in 2010), which is road-accessible via the gravel Route du Nord unlike most Nunavik/Lower North Shore Indigenous communities.

Air Creebec

Cree-owned regional carrier operates Air Creebec's own scheduled flights into Nemiscau Airport (YNS/CYHH) only at Hydro-Quebec's discretion, per Wikipedia. Quebec's SDBJ, which manages the aerodrome, lists it as closed to public/commercial traffic with aeronautical services N/A, and no independent ground handler or FBO is listed for this remote, PPR-only site, so Air Creebec self-handles its own flights there.
