Perimeter Aviation
Perimeter Aviation is the primary scheduled carrier at Red Sucker Lake (CYRS/YRS), flying passengers and cargo to Winnipeg and Island Lake with additional service to God's Lake Narrows and St. Theresa Point on select days, per the carrier's own flight-schedule PDF. As at its other northern stations, Perimeter self-handles passenger check-in, baggage and ramp duties through its own Northern Station Agent role rather than a third-party handler; this role is confirmed as posted at comparable remote fly-in communities (South Indian Lake, God's Lake Narrows, North Spirit Lake) though not separately confirmed by name for Red Sucker Lake.

Northway Aviation
Northway Aviation (northwayav.com) confirms Red Sucker Lake among the First Nation communities it serves with scheduled passenger and cargo flights, Sunday through Friday, including a St. Theresa Point routing and a Garden Hill to Red Sucker Lake to St. Andrews routing. No third-party ground handler is identified at this remote airstrip, so Northway is understood to self-handle its own flights; this is not separately confirmed in company materials.

Red Sucker Lake Air Service Ltd
First Nation-owned charter carrier (rslair.ca), 100% owned and operated by Red Sucker Lake Anisininew Nation since 2015, offering passenger, cargo, medical and wilderness charter flights across Northern Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. Company and directory profiles (rslair.ca about-us, CCIB member page) state it is based in the home community of Red Sucker Lake with a second operating base at St. Andrews Airport near Winnipeg, but no source explicitly documents that it performs ground handling for other carriers at CYRS, so any such role beyond its own charter operations is unconfirmed.
