Barber Field Airport, La Ronge

the ATR 42, SAAB 340, and the Convair 580 (air tanker). King Airs, Beech 1900s and Twin Otters are also regular users. “We frequently have C-130 Hercules military aircraft here refueling and/or performing training exercises as well as aircraft like the DC-3,” Burr notes. Future goals include encouraging non-aviation businesses to locate at the Airport. “We are always interested and welcome inquiries,” Burr remarks. “We have land on airside and groundside that is available for development. Our lease fees and services are very competitive and anyone – private or corporate – interested in development and taking advantage of doing business in northern Saskatchewan would do well to consider the La Ronge Airport.” A regional airport with large responsibilities, the Barber Field Airport is aiming to build on its past legacy of service, while looking forward to a bright and sustainable future as the aviation hub of northern Saskatchewan.
