Remote northern Quebec airport serving the La Grande-4 hydroelectric complex.
Location
La Grande-4, Canada
La Grande-4 Airport (IATA: YAH, ICAO: CYAH) is a small regional airport located in the James Bay area of northern Quebec, Canada. It primarily serves the La Grande-4 hydroelectric generating station, one of the major facilities of the James Bay hydroelectric project operated by Hydro-Québec.
The airport is used largely for charter and utility flights transporting workers and equipment to the remote La Grande River complex. Scheduled commercial service is extremely limited, and the airport functions mainly as a support facility for industrial operations in the region.
Given its remote location in the boreal forest of northern Quebec, the airport is not connected to any road network accessible to the general public, making air travel the primary means of reaching the area.
Terminals
The airport has a small, basic terminal suited to the limited passenger volumes associated with industrial and charter operations.
