About Burwash Airport
Burwash Airport is the local aerodrome serving Burwash Landing and the Kluane Lake area of southwestern Yukon. Operated by the Government of Yukon, it mainly supports general aviation, charter flights, recreational flying, tourism access, and emergency services rather than scheduled commercial airline traffic.
The airport sits about 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) northwest of Burwash Landing, next to the Alaska Highway and near Kluane National Park and Reserve. Its single gravel runway, 10/28, is 1,526 metres (5,007 feet) long and 30 metres (100 feet) wide, with a small air terminal building on site.
Road access is straightforward via the Alaska Highway, linking the airport to Burwash Landing, Kluane Lake, Destruction Bay, Haines Junction, and Whitehorse. Travelers typically continue by pre-arranged transfer, rental car, or charter vehicle.
Passenger facilities are basic and suited to a small northern aerodrome. The terminal provides a waiting area and telephone, while fuel, food, medical aid, and accommodation can be found nearby in Burwash Landing. Weather information and a community aerodrome radio station support flight operations.
