About Armstrong Airport
Armstrong Airport is a small general aviation airport serving Armstrong, Ontario and the surrounding Thunder Bay District. Located about 8 km east-southeast of the community, the airport provides a base for private, charter and general aviation flights in a remote part of northwestern Ontario.
Armstrong is situated roughly 250 km north of Thunder Bay at the end of Highway 527, northwest of Lake Nipigon. The airport's role is closely tied to the region's fly-in lodges, outfitters and remote communities, making it a useful gateway for travellers heading to fishing, hunting and wilderness destinations.
The airport has a single paved runway used for general aviation operations and is operated by the Government of Ontario. It does not offer scheduled commercial passenger service, and passenger facilities are limited compared with larger airports.
Road access from the airport to Armstrong is short and straightforward, while longer journeys to Thunder Bay and other centres in the region can be made along Highway 527 and connecting routes by private transfer, chauffeur service, taxi or rental vehicle.
