Dining

In-terminal dining options are extremely limited given the airport's small scale, so travellers are advised to eat before arriving. The town of Cochrane, a short drive away, offers diners, family restaurants, and fast food outlets along Highway 11. Local spots near the town centre provide simple, hearty northern Ontario fare.

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm flight schedules directly with your charter or carrier, as services can be irregular or weather-dependent.
  • Winter conditions in Cochrane are severe — allow extra time and dress in heavy layers when travelling between November and March.
  • The Ontario Northland rail service (the Polar Bear Express) connects Cochrane to Moosonee and may complement air travel for some routes.
  • Fuel and aircraft services should be arranged in advance, as facilities are limited compared to larger regional airports.
