## Description

At Pikwitonei (PIW), rail and air share the supply task rather than compete: the Hudson Bay Railway carries the bulk of goods three times a week from The Pas and Thompson, while chartered aircraft handle the urgent remainder – roughly 30 tonnes of air freight across some 230 movements a year. With no road link, this small Northern Manitoba community depends on both for food, fuel and medical supplies. Charters are arranged through operators based in Thompson. A planned runway extension to about 3,000 feet aims to ease delivery of essential goods. Pikwitonei is a lifeline airstrip, not a cargo terminal, and forwarders treat it as a last-mile resupply point.
