Meadow Lake Airport — Meadow Lake, Canada

Meadow Lake Airport, coded YLJ, serves the town of Meadow Lake in northwestern Saskatchewan, Canada, near the edge of the province's boreal forest zone. The airport supports forestry firefighting operations, general aviation, medical evacuation flights, and charter services connecting the community to larger Saskatchewan centers. YLJ's paved runway handles small to medium aircraft used by local businesses, government agencies, and Indigenous communities in the surrounding Meadow Lake Tribal Council area. Given the region's reliance on forestry and agriculture, the airport plays a quietly essential role in linking this northern gateway community to broader transportation networks, particularly during wildfire season when aerial firefighting resources are dispatched from the field.
