## Description

The code ZJG belongs not to a commercial airport but to a private airstrip owned by Manitoba Hydro: Jenpeg Airport (ICAO: CZJG) serves the utility's Jenpeg generating station in northern Manitoba, where the west channel of the Nelson River flows into Cross Lake. The station, running six units since 1979, regulates roughly 85 percent of the outflow from Lake Winnipeg, and the strip exists for operational and charter flights connected to it. There is no freight terminal, no scheduled service and no customs post; Canadian records classify the field as private and in use. Equipment and materials reach the site by provincial road PR 373, with rail and seasonal winter roads further south. The site sits about 525 kilometres north of Winnipeg and 135 kilometres south of Thompson. Forwarders route air freight for northern Manitoba through Winnipeg (YWG) and truck the final stretch, with Thompson (YTH) the nearest airport offering scheduled service and cargo acceptance.
