About Teslin Airport
Teslin Airport is a small public aerodrome serving the Village of Teslin in southern Yukon, Canada. Located on the northwest side of the community, it supports charter, private, and general aviation traffic and provides a convenient air link for travellers along the Alaska Highway corridor.
The airport has a single gravel runway about 1,522 metres long and 30 metres wide, plus a basic air terminal building. Its elevation is roughly 705 metres above sea level, and the facility is operated by the Government of Yukon.
Teslin sits on the shore of Teslin Lake near the Nisutlin River, about 177 km southeast of Whitehorse. The airport's position gives road access to the village and the Alaska Highway, connecting to Whitehorse to the northwest and Watson Lake to the east.
Because there is no scheduled airline service, most visitors arrive by private or charter aircraft. Travellers can continue by private transfer, rental car, or local road transport, with the airport functioning as a modest gateway to lakeside, wilderness, and highway destinations in the region.
