Location

Hopedale, Canada

Hopedale Airport (IATA: YHO, ICAO: CYHO) is a small regional airport serving Hopedale, a predominantly Inuit community on the coast of Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The airport provides a critical transportation link for this remote community, which has no road connections to the rest of Canada's highway network. The airport is owned and operated by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and supports scheduled air service connecting Hopedale to other communities along the Labrador coast as well as to Goose Bay. It plays an essential role in the delivery of supplies, mail, and medical services to this isolated settlement. As with many remote northern airports in Canada, Hopedale Airport operates with minimal facilities but serves as a lifeline for residents who depend on air travel for access to healthcare, commerce, and broader transportation connections.

Terminals

The airport has a small, basic terminal building consistent with a remote community airport serving a population of several hundred residents.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options are extremely limited given Hopedale's remote location and lack of road connections, with local vehicles providing the primary means of access to the airport.

Airlines here

Provincial Airlines and other regional carriers have historically provided scheduled service connecting Hopedale to Happy Valley-Goose Bay and other Labrador coastal communities.
