Airport contact
Brochet Airport is a remote, fly-in gravel airstrip serving the twinned communities of Brochet and Barren Lands First Nation (Dene/Cree, Treaty 10) on the north shore of Reindeer Lake in far-northern Manitoba, about 935 km north-northwest of Winnipeg. Perimeter Aviation provides the community's lifeline scheduled service to Thompson; the only surface link is a seasonal winter road (roughly January-March) to Lynn Lake, making the airport essential year-round for passengers, mail, freight, and medical evacuations.
