About Black Tickle Airport
Black Tickle Airport is a small public aerodrome serving Black Tickle, a remote coastal community on the Island of Ponds in southeastern Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It provides an essential air link for a settlement with no road connection, supporting travel to and from larger Labrador centres.
The aerodrome sits about 2 km northwest of the community and operates a single gravel runway, 14/32, roughly 760 m in length. Its compact infrastructure handles the scheduled and charter flights typical of remote northern aviation.
Because Black Tickle is inaccessible by road, the airport works alongside a seasonal ferry service that runs roughly from June to November, linking the community with Goose Bay and Cartwright. Movement between the airport and the village is short and usually arranged locally.
With limited on-site amenities, the airport keeps operations simple and focused on passenger handling for small aircraft. Travelers should plan around weather, limited schedules and the remote nature of the region.
