Location

Red Lake, Canada

Red Lake Airport (IATA: YRL, ICAO: CYRL) is a regional airport serving the town of Red Lake in northwestern Ontario, Canada. It provides essential air connectivity for a community that lacks convenient road access to major urban centres, making aviation a critical lifeline for residents, mining workers, and emergency services. The airport is owned and operated by the Corporation of the Township of Red Lake. It supports scheduled passenger service as well as charter, cargo, and medevac operations that are vital to the surrounding Indigenous communities and the gold mining industry in the region.

Terminals

The airport has a small, single terminal building suited to low-volume regional passenger traffic.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options from the airport are limited, primarily consisting of taxis and private vehicles given the small size of the community.

Airlines here

Bearskin Airlines has historically provided scheduled service to Red Lake, connecting it to Thunder Bay and other northwestern Ontario destinations.
