## Description

Meadow Lake Airport (IATA: YLJ) earns its place through forestry and emergency aviation, not scheduled freight. The town in northwestern Saskatchewan lives off its sawmill and OSB plant, and the field mainly hosts general aviation, charters and medevac flights. No regular cargo handling takes place here. Shippers move goods by road to Saskatoon (YXE), from where air freight reaches the wider network via Calgary (YYC) or Winnipeg (YWG). Each wildfire season the airport doubles as a water-bomber base for the surrounding boreal forest.
