About Jenpeg Airport
Jenpeg Airport is a small private airstrip in northern Manitoba that provides access to Manitoba Hydro's Jenpeg Generating Station. It is located about 137 km from Thompson, in the Unorganized Division No. 22 near the Nelson River, and serves mainly hydro staff, contractors, and general aviation and charter flights.
The airport has a single gravel runway, 15/33, measuring roughly 3,796 feet, and no passenger terminal or commercial airline services. Operations are managed by Manitoba Hydro, so most arrivals and departures are arranged directly with the operating carrier or the station.
Because it is a remote facility, passenger amenities are limited, and there are no shops, restaurants, or commercial security checkpoints. Travelers normally continue by pre-arranged road transport toward Thompson, Cross Lake, and other northern Manitoba communities.
Despite its small size, the airstrip plays an important practical role in supporting the hydroelectric station and movement of personnel in this remote part of Manitoba.
