This acquisition adds another location to the airline which already provides schedule flights and freight services to Saskatoon, Prince Albert, La Ronge, Stony Rapids, Fond Du Lac, Wollaston and Points North.

The location has a terminal, hanger, fueling area, and two apartment buildings for housing crews.

The fixed base will continue as normal providing charter flights, medical transportation, ground servicing and fueling.

Fueling will be operated by Snowbird Petroleum, a branch under the Transwest Group of Companies.

Lawless says they will work closely with the community to bring economic and employment opportunities for the local residents. Positions such as base manager, ground handlers, and fuel workers will be part of the initial hires.

“We’re proud to be the most present airline in Northern Saskatchewan. This just helps us grow this reputation with having the strongest presence in the Northern half of Saskatchewan.
