Airport contact
Fly-in-only aerodrome serving Keewaywin First Nation (Anishininiwag/Oji-Cree), a small remote community of roughly 410 on-reserve residents (2021 Census) on the south shore of Sandy Lake in Northwestern Ontario, ~225 km northeast of Red Lake; a seasonal winter road (Jan-Mar) is the only surface link to the highway network, so the gravel strip is the community's year-round lifeline for passengers, mail, and freight. Served by Wasaya Airways (First Nations-owned regional carrier, one of 12 owner communities, Red Lake service area, Hawker Beechcraft 1900D equipment) and Northway Aviation (Cessna Caravan/Pilatus PC-12), with connections mainly via Sioux Lookout and Sandy Lake.
