About Dawson City Airport
Dawson City Airport is a small regional airport serving Dawson City and the historic Klondike region of Canada's Yukon Territory. It is the main air link for the area, with Air North operating scheduled flights between Dawson City and Whitehorse, Inuvik and Old Crow.
The airport operates from a single terminal building and one asphalt runway, which was paved in May 2019. The runway measures about 1,525 metres, allowing the airport to handle the regional aircraft that connect Dawson City with the rest of the Yukon and nearby northern communities.
Located roughly 15 km east of downtown Dawson City, the airport is reached by road along the Klondike Highway. Travelers can continue into town by taxi, private transfer or rental car, though public transport and on-site car rental are not available at the terminal.
With a compact layout and limited but functional passenger facilities, Dawson City Airport serves as a practical entry point for visitors exploring the Klondike, the Dempster Highway and the wider Yukon.
