Airport contact
Inland company-town airport built in 1971 to serve the Churchill Falls hydroelectric generating station; owned and operated by CF(L)Co rather than a municipal or Transport Canada authority. PAL Airlines provides scheduled service to Happy Valley-Goose Bay and Wabush. Uniquely for Newfoundland and Labrador, Churchill Falls observes Atlantic Time (like Labrador City/Wabush) rather than the Newfoundland Time used at Goose Bay and coastal Labrador communities, reflecting its inland location and historical ties to the Quebec North Shore/Labrador West power corridor.
