๐ข Terminal Information
Remote regional airport in northern Manitoba.
๐ Connection Tips
Lynn Lake Airport serves northern Manitoba's remote mining community, located 665 miles from Winnipeg with a 5,004-foot paved runway - Manitoba's northernmost highway-accessible paved facility. Historically operated by Calm Air International from 1969-1985 as their home base before relocating to Thompson, current scheduled service appears limited with connections primarily via charter operators routing through Winnipeg (YWG), Thompson (YTH), or Churchill (YYQ). The airport supported significant nickel-copper mining operations from Sherritt Gordon (1953-1976) producing 22.2 million tonnes averaging 1.02% nickel and 0.54% copper, with concentrate shipped by rail to Fort Saskatchewan refineries. Alamos Gold plans construction resumption at the MacLellan mine project with production targeted for first half 2028, potentially increasing airport activity. Remote location requires advance coordination for ground transportation, fuel services, and accommodations within Lynn Lake township. Weather delays frequent during harsh northern Manitoba winters with extreme cold, snow, and limited daylight affecting year-round operations. Emergency medical evacuations utilize the facility serving communities throughout the vast northwest Manitoba region. Charter operations support ongoing mineral exploration activities including nickel, copper, gold, zinc, and uranium surveying in surrounding areas. Terminal facilities minimal with services closing between flights - coordinate arrival times with local accommodations and transportation providers. The airport serves as critical transportation link for this isolated community of approximately 500 residents. Corporate flights support mining companies conducting feasibility studies and exploration work throughout the mineral-rich region. Winter operations challenging with temperature extremes and snow removal requirements typical of northern boreal forest environment.
