Air Sandy

This listing points to Trade North Aviation (TNA), an air charter business serving remote communities in Northern Ontario and Northern Manitoba. Its website pairs the Trade North name with Sandy Lake Seaplane Service Limited, which is based at Sandy Lake First Nation in northwestern Ontario. The site's header image also carries the Air Sandy name.

Trade North charters flights from Winnipeg and Sandy Lake to northern destinations, carrying passengers, freight, construction crews, government staff, hunters and anglers, and patients needing remote medical transport. The seaplane side flies floatplanes to lakes and rivers in summer and ski-equipped aircraft in winter. The company says it refers trips to affiliate operators when its own aircraft are not suitable.

The fleet listed on the website is made up of utility aircraft for short and unpaved strips: Cessna 208 and 208B Grand Caravan, Piper Navajo Chieftain, Cessna 207 and Cessna 206 on wheels, floats or skis. The Caravan's large cargo door is promoted for oversized freight such as quads, generators and fuel drums.

Destinations named include Sandy Lake, Deer Lake, Pikangikum, Big Trout Lake and Fort Severn in Ontario, and God's Lake, Norway House, Island Lake and Oxford House in Manitoba, as well as Thunder Bay, Sioux Lookout, Red Lake, Winnipeg, Thompson and Churchill. This is practical northern charter flying rather than business jet travel.
