Yukon Aviation Gateways

These aviation hubs are the lifelines of Yukon, connecting the capital of Whitehorse to remote northern outposts and historic gold-mining regions. The network includes international entries like Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International and vital community links like Old Crow, Yukon’s only year-round fly-in settlement. Several facilities, such as Watson Lake, were established as part of the World War II Northwest Staging Route. These airports provide critical access for tourism in Kluane National Park, mining operations in the Klondike, and essential supplies for isolated communities.
