Sole scheduled carrier is Rise Air, flying Saab 340/Beech 1900-class equipment on the Saskatoon-Points North-Stony Rapids-Fond-du-Lac-Uranium City network a few days per week; the runway was shortened from 5,000 ft to its current 3,935 ft in 1999 after depopulation. Uranium City was a Cold War uranium-mining boomtown that swelled to an estimated 4,500-5,000 residents by the late 1950s (2,507 at the 1981 census) and collapsed after Eldorado's mines closed in 1982; the 2021 census recorded only 91 residents, and the airport today serves this remnant community plus a First Nations/Metis population with no all-season road access. No public annual passenger totals are reported for this facility (below Statistics Canada/CATSA reporting thresholds).
