North Star Air
Kasabonika Airport's Wikipedia article (unreferenced, no independent citation found) states North Star Air provides cargo service to Kasabonika on request and handles Canada Post package mail; North Star's own scheduled-destinations list omits Kasabonika, consistent with on-request/charter service rather than scheduled service. Presumed self-handled given no named third-party handler at this station; evidence unconfirmed.
