Chevery Airport (CYHR) is a small, uncontrolled public airfield on the north-eastern shore of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence in the remote Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent municipality of Quebec. It offers a single lit hard-surface runway serving scheduled regional air links along this isolated stretch of coast, making it a distinctive stop for VFR pilots exploring Quebec's Lower North Shore.
Chevery Airport serves the small coastal community of Chevery, part of the municipality of Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent on Quebec's remote Lower North Shore. It is a public airport operated by the municipality and, despite its isolation, sees regular scheduled traffic from regional carriers connecting communities along the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, making it an interesting waypoint for pilots flying this sparsely served part of Canada.
The airport lies on the north-eastern shore of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, within the municipality of Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent in Quebec. It is uncontrolled airspace, with no air traffic control service provided on the field.
Chevery Airport has a single physical runway, 07/25, measuring 4,502 feet, with a hard surface, and it is lit.
Traffic at Chevery is coordinated on the Aerodrome Traffic Frequency (ATF) 123.5 MHz. An automated weather observation system (AWOS) broadcasts on 122.55 MHz. There is no ILS at the field.
As an uncontrolled aerodrome, pilots are expected to make position reports and coordinate with other traffic on the ATF of 123.5 MHz when inbound, in the circuit, and departing.
The airfield sits on the shore of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, and this coastline provides the most obvious visual reference for pilots approaching from the water side; the surrounding terrain along this stretch of the Lower North Shore is otherwise sparsely developed.
Chevery Airport was established to serve the small Lower North Shore community of Chevery and remains a certified airport within the Côte-Nord region of Quebec. Aircraft movement statistics recorded 3,716 movements in 2010, reflecting its role as a modest but active regional airfield.
The airport remains in operation as an uncontrolled public airfield with an AWOS, supporting scheduled air service to other Lower North Shore communities and onward connections to larger centres such as Sept-Iles, Quebec City and Montreal. Airlines historically serving the field, including Air Liaison and Central Mountain Air, have operated routes to destinations such as Baie-Comeau, Blanc-Sablon, La Romaine, La Tabatiere, Natashquan, Saint-Augustin, and Tete-a-la-Baleine.
