About Key Lake Airport
Key Lake Airport is a regional airport in northern Saskatchewan, serving the Key Lake uranium mill and surrounding mine sites operated by Cameco. It is located near the southern edge of the Athabasca Basin, roughly 570 km north of Saskatoon by air.
The airport operates a single gravel runway, 03/21, measuring about 1,610 m (5,281 ft), at an elevation of 514 m (1,686 ft). Passenger services focus on charter and workforce flights rather than scheduled public commercial traffic, reflecting the remote industrial character of the area.
Key Lake has no town centre, so most arriving personnel continue directly to the mill, work camps, or other northern Saskatchewan locations. The nearest village by road is Pinehouse, about 220 km to the south, and the nearest city is La Ronge, roughly 240 km away.
Ground access is mainly via Saskatchewan Highway 914, which is maintained year-round to Key Lake, while air travel remains the primary connection for shift workers. The compact terminal provides basic passenger facilities, making the airport a practical gateway for mine-related travel in Canada's north.
