About Kattiniq/Donaldson Airport
Kattiniq/Donaldson Airport is a private airport serving the Raglan Mine nickel complex in Nunavik, the northernmost region of Quebec. Operated by Glencore Canada, it is used mainly for fly-in/fly-out workforce rotations and charter flights that support mining operations.
Located about 20 km east of the Raglan Mine complex, the airport has a single gravel runway designated 10/28 that is approximately 6,500 ft long, at an elevation of about 1,902 ft. Charter services connect the site with destinations including Montreal, Rouyn-Noranda and Val-d'Or. In 2025, the runway received Transport Canada precision-runway certification.
The airport is linked to the mine site by a gravel access road. Because there is no regular public transit, onward travel is usually arranged through the mine operator, a company shuttle or a pre-booked private vehicle.
Facilities are basic and suited to a remote mining airfield, with a small terminal building for charter passengers. Travelers should expect limited public amenities and should confirm access, transport and flight details in advance.
