Why fly to Wunnummin Lake?
Fly here because you mean it.

The airport's two routes are both within Canada, and the longest — a short hop to Kingfisher Lake (KIF), just 47 kilometres away — tells you something important about the. That distance takes minutes by air and would be essentially impassable by land for much of the year. Wasaya Airways (WP) operates these vital links, and "vital" is not an overstatement. These flights are lifelines, not leisure. Understanding that before you book changes everything about how you show up.
