Kingfisher Lake Airport guide

Kingfisher Lake Airport (Transport Canada identifier CNM5) serves Kingfisher First Nation, a fly-in Oji-Cree community in northwestern Ontario about 350 km north of Sioux Lookout. The airfield lies 2.8 km southwest of the community and sits at an elevation of 866 ft.

The airport has a single gravel and clay runway, 12/30, 1,073 m (3,520 ft) long. The Government of Ontario, through the Ministry of Transportation, operates it. It has no customs or immigration service and no published passenger statistics.

The community is reached by waterway in summer and by ice roads in winter, so the airstrip carries its passengers, mail and freight through the year. Wasaya Airways is the scheduled passenger carrier, with flights to Sioux Lookout and nearby Wunnumin Lake. Schedules change by season, so confirm flight times with the airline before travelling.
