Elevation 94ft(29m)
Runway 07/25 4000ft x 100ft(1219m x 30m)
Runway 15/33 9200ft x 160ft(2804m x 49m)
On October 18, 2002, An Air France Boeing 777-200 on route from Paris to Los Angeles made an emergency landing in Churchill, Manitoba when a small fire broke out by the front left windshield in the cockpit. Interestingly, passengers in rows 42-44 were the first to notice the odour and alert the flight crew. The aircraft dumped fuel over Hudson Bay before landing at Churchill. Because Churchill's airport does not regularly handle aircraft the size of a 777-200 the passengers deplaned using the slides.
