About Kasabonika Airport

Overview

Kasabonika Airport serves the remote community of Kasabonika in northern Canada, located at coordinates 53.524700, -88.642799. As a medium airport situated in a challenging northern landscape, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this isolated region, supporting essential regional and local aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport sits at an elevation of 672 ft mean sea level, which can introduce variable atmospheric conditions typical of northern Canadian environments. Pilots should anticipate potential rapid weather changes and prepare for challenging visual meteorological conditions, especially during transitional seasons.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (03/21) measuring 3,500 feet long with a gravel surface, characteristic of remote northern Canadian airports. Its geographic position requires careful navigation and awareness of surrounding terrain, with potential wind and visibility challenges endemic to the region.

Approach Considerations
