About Cochrane Airport
Cochrane Airport is a public aerodrome located about 3.7 km north of Cochrane, Ontario, serving the town and the wider Cochrane District. With the IATA code YCN and ICAO code CYCN, it mainly supports general aviation, charter and private flights rather than scheduled commercial services.
The airport features a single asphalt runway, 13/31, measuring roughly 1,367 m by 30 m, along with a small terminal building and basic ground services. Its position north of the town makes it a practical entry point for pilots and private travelers visiting Cochrane and the surrounding James Bay region.
Cochrane sits along Highway 11 in Northeastern Ontario and is best known for the Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat and as the starting point of the Polar Bear Express train to Moosonee and Moose Factory. From the airport, the town centre is only a short drive away, with access to local roads, taxis, private transfers and rental vehicles.
Despite its modest size, the aerodrome plays a useful role for regional travel, forestry and tourism-related flights, connecting the area with larger centres such as Timmins and providing a convenient base for exploring northern Ontario.
