Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Nov 21, 2025

Closure Date

Not Applicable. The aerodrome at the specified coordinates is not closed. The identifier 'CA-0105' is a non-standard, unrecognized identifier, likely from an outdated or erroneous third-party database. The active, registered aerodrome at this location is Cree Lake (Crystal Lodge) Aerodrome, with the official Transport Canada Location Identifier CJL3.

Reason for Closure

Not Applicable. The aerodrome is currently operational. The premise of the airport being closed is incorrect; it remains an active, private-use facility.

Current Status

The site is an active, private aerodrome registered as Cree Lake (Crystal Lodge) (CJL3). It is owned and operated by Crystal Lodge for its clients and operational needs. It features a single sand/gravel runway (10/28) approximately 3,500 feet in length. Use of the airport is restricted and requires 'Prior Permission Required' (PPR) from the lodge operator. It continues to be a key access point for tourism in this remote region.

Historical Significance

The airstrip has long been a critical piece of infrastructure for remote tourism in northern Saskatchewan. Its primary purpose has always been to serve fly-in fishing and hunting lodges on Cree Lake, most notably Crystal Lodge. When active, it handles general aviation charter and private aircraft (such as the de Havilland Beaver/Otter, Cessna 185/206, and Pilatus PC-12) transporting guests, staff, and essential supplies. Before the airstrip, access was limited to floatplanes landing on the lake or long, arduous boat journeys, making the runway vital for more reliable, all-season wheeled and ski-plane operations.

Reopening Prospects

Not Applicable, as the aerodrome is currently open and operational.
