About Pikangikum Airport
Pikangikum Airport (YPM) is the air gateway serving the remote First Nation community of Pikangikum in northwestern Ontario. The airport provides essential passenger and cargo connections for a fly-in community with limited year-round road access.
Located about 2 km northeast of the community, the airport has a single small terminal and a gravel runway (09/27) of roughly 1,069 metres. Regional carriers such as Wasaya Airways link Pikangikum with hubs like Red Lake and Sioux Lookout, as well as other northern Ontario communities.
The airport is operated by the Government of Ontario and handles domestic regional traffic. Facilities are basic: a single-storey terminal, a small waiting area, limited vending and free parking. There is no public transit, so travellers usually arrange a pickup, taxi or private transfer in advance.
Pikangikum is a dry community, and arriving passengers may be subject to luggage checks for alcohol and illegal substances. Because weather can affect operations in this remote area, travellers should confirm flight status before heading to the airport.
