Airport contact
Wabush Airport is the primary air link for the Labrador West mining communities of Wabush and Labrador City and also serves Fermont, Quebec, just across the provincial border; PAL Airlines operates scheduled service to Montreal, Quebec City, Sept-Iles, Goose Bay and St. John's, while charter operators such as Norlinor Aviation fly contractor rotations (including Boeing 737 equipment) for the region's iron-ore mines. Unlike remote coastal Labrador, the community is also road- and rail-connected (Trans-Labrador Highway; QNS&L railway to Sept-Iles), and uniquely for Labrador it observes Atlantic Time rather than Newfoundland Time owing to its proximity to the Quebec border.

Wabush Airport (Transport Canada)
Transport Canada owns and operates Wabush Airport and lists a refueling service among its facilities, matching the airport's own record of both Jet A-1 and Avgas 100LL being available on field. The specific commercial operator performing into-plane fuelling is not publicly identified; Airconsol/Allied Aviation, the field's ground handler, offers into-plane fuelling at some other Canadian stations (e.g. Deer Lake) but does not list this service for its Wabush location.
