The Wemindji Airport is operated by the Conseil de Bande de Wemindji. The airport has been designated a Remote airport under the National Airports Policy.

It is believed to be connected to Henry Hudson, an Englishmen and accomplished explorer, who in 1610 sailed into James Bay searching for a new trade route. His ship 'Discovery" spent the winter of 1611 marooned in the ice. In the spring, the crew mutinied and set Henry Hudson and his small loyal group a drift near the islands off Wemindji, never to be heard from again."

Getting there is best by seaplane But Wemindji is also accessible by a permanent class 2 gravel road, which opened in September 1995. With a population of 1,100 Wemindji is one of nine Cree communities located in remote northern Quebec.
