About Ignace Municipal Airport
Ignace Municipal Airport (ZUC/CZUC) is the Township of Ignace's public aerodrome in northwestern Ontario. Located about 4.6 km northwest of town and just off the Trans-Canada Highway corridor between Thunder Bay and Kenora, it serves the area as a municipal airfield for general aviation, charters and community access.
The airfield has a single asphalt runway, 05/23, measuring 3,512 by 75 feet at an elevation of approximately 1,435 feet. It operates as an uncontrolled aerodrome in Class G airspace, and its compact terminal building is not regularly staffed. With no scheduled commercial airline service, operations are typically seasonal and coordinated directly with pilots or charter operators.
Because the airport is only a short drive from downtown Ignace and close to Highway 17, ground connections are straightforward for a small northern field. Travelers usually continue by private vehicle, pre-arranged transfer, taxi or rental car, while scheduled passenger flights are available nearby at Dryden Regional Airport.
Facilities at ZUC remain basic, with aircraft parking and essential airfield services rather than a full passenger terminal. Visitors should plan food, fuel and onward transport in advance, as hotels, restaurants, taxis and medical services are found in Ignace rather than at the airport itself.
