Bathurst Regional Airport is located west northwest of Bathurst. It is listed as an airport of entry and can accept general aviation aircraft with up to 15 occupants.
In June 2020, Air Canada, the only airline operating scheduled passenger flights from the airport, indefinitely suspended all operation at Bathurst Airport due to the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. Thrice-weekly service to Montreal resumed on June 1, 2021, however the decreased service resulted in the Bathurst Airport operating on a deficit for several years.
