## Description

About 570 kilometres north of Saskatoon, Key Lake Airport (YKJ) sits at one of Canada's major uranium sites, the Cameco-operated Key Lake mill that now processes ore from the McArthur River mine. The field mainly handles rotational workforce charters and air-ambulance flights rather than freight. There is no commercial cargo terminal: supplies and equipment arrive by road via Highway 914, which officially ends at the mine. Time-critical air freight for the wider region is handled through Saskatoon. For forwarders, YKJ is an industrial company airfield, not an open cargo gateway.
