## Description

West Wind Aviation, Rise Air and charter operator Athabasca Airways keep Points North Landing (YNL) busy almost every day, flying crews and freight between Saskatoon, Prince Albert, La Ronge and the camps of northern Saskatchewan. The site is a permanent supply depot for the eastern Athabasca Basin, serving the Cigar Lake, McClean Lake and Rabbit Lake uranium operations with bulk fuel, ice-road trucking and air freight under one roof. Cargo is the point here: drilling equipment, spare parts and consumables for multi-million-dollar exploration programmes move through YNL rather than holiday luggage. There is no integrator terminal or on-site customs, so scheduled international shipments are consolidated through Saskatoon (YXE). For freight forwarders, YNL is the final air link where highway, winter road and aircraft connect before the bush takes over.
