Northern Ontario's gateway serving the Hearst community.

Location
Hearst, Canada
Hearst René Fontaine Municipal Airport (IATA: YHF, ICAO: CYHF) is a small regional airport serving the town of Hearst in northeastern Ontario, Canada. It provides essential air connections for a remote community largely inaccessible by paved road, making air travel a critical link for residents and businesses. The airport is municipally operated and handles scheduled regional passenger service alongside general aviation traffic. It plays a key role in supporting the forestry and resource industries that dominate the local economy. Given Hearst's geographic isolation, the airport serves as a vital lifeline for medical transport, cargo, and community connectivity to larger urban centres such as Timmins and Toronto.
Terminals
The airport features a small, single terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes of a remote northern Ontario community.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport to downtown Hearst is limited, with taxi and private vehicle being the primary options.
Airlines here
