Airport contact
Fly-in-only gravel airstrip serving the isolated Cree community of Peawanuck (Weenusk First Nation), rebuilt here after the 1986 flood evacuation of Winisk; scheduled service from Air Creebec and Thunder Airlines (twice-weekly, via Timmins/Moosonee) provides the community's only year-round link, alongside ORNGE air ambulance operations.

Air Creebec
Air Creebec's own published schedule lists twice-weekly (Tuesday/Thursday, flights 841/842) fixed-wing service to Peawanuck (YPO); no third-party FBO or ground handler is listed for this airport in aviation directories, so consistent with other remote James Bay/Hudson Bay coast strips it serves, it appears to self-handle its own flights here.

Thunder Airlines
Thunder Airlines' own website currently advertises twice-weekly service to Peawanuck (YPO) along the James Bay coast, though the carrier posted a notice suspending this route in June 2023 for operational reasons and current operating status could not be independently confirmed; no third-party ground handler is listed for this airport, so if operating it self-handles its own flights at this station.
