Frequently asked questions
Is customs clearance available at CYFO?
Flin Flon Airport does not have customs service on site. The nearest customs facility is CYXE, located approximately 234 nautical miles away. Crews arriving from outside Canada need to route their clearance through CYXE or another designated port of entry before or after operating into CYFO. Dispatchers should build this distance into routing and timing plans rather than assuming any customs option locally.
What is the runway configuration at CYFO?
Flin Flon Airport, identified by ICAO code CYFO, has a single paved runway designated 19/01. The runway measures 5,004 feet in length and 150 feet in width, with an asphalt surface. This single strip handles all fixed-wing traffic at the field, so crews should confirm wind conditions carefully given there is no crosswind runway alternative. The width provides reasonable margin for a range of business aircraft types.
How much business aviation traffic does CYFO see annually?
CYFO recorded 1,951 business aviation operations against 2,694 total operations in 2025, according to FAA TFMSC data covering cross-border traffic. This figure represents cross-border movements tracked by the FAA rather than the airport's full operational count. The monthly distribution shows meaningful variation, with July posting the highest volume at 218 operations. Dispatchers working transborder flights into Flin Flon Airport should treat this as a partial but useful indicator of business traffic patterns.
Does CYFO see seasonal traffic patterns?
Yes, Flin Flon Airport shows a distinct traffic dip in June, when business aviation operations dropped to just 17 for the month based on FAA TFMSC cross-border data. Every other month in 2025 saw business aviation counts ranging from 134 to 218 operations. This makes June a clear outlier rather than part of a gradual seasonal trend. Flight planners scheduling into CYFO around that period should be aware traffic volumes there diverge sharply from surrounding months.
What are winter conditions like at Flin Flon Airport?
Flin Flon Airport experiences sustained cold through the winter months, with average high temperatures around 5 to 12 degrees Fahrenheit in January and February. Days with temperatures below freezing run close to the full month during December, January, and March, each showing roughly 30 or more such days. Snow accumulation of an inch or more occurs on a recurring basis from November through March. Crews operating into CYFO during winter should plan for cold-weather procedures and reduced visibility days tied to snowfall.
