New Nain Airport Project

The Nunatsiavut Government is proposing the construction and operation of a new airport located on Inuit lands about nine kilometres southwest of Nain, in Newfoundland and Labrador. As proposed, the New Nain Airport Project would include a 2,133-metre-long gravel airplane runway, a multifunctional airport terminal, a 12-kilometre-long access road, a hanger and other related infrastructure. The new facility would be able to operate seven days a week, 24 hours a day, year-round, to provide essential services to the community.
