## Description

Air North, the Yukon's home airline, anchors operations at Dawson City Airport (YDA), eight nautical miles east of the former Klondike gold-rush boomtown. Year-round flights link Dawson City with Whitehorse, Inuvik and the fly-in community of Old Crow, while summer charters carry Holland America cruise passengers to Fairbanks, Alaska. The asphalt runway, repaved in 2019, measures 1,525 m at an elevation of 370 m and handles ATR 42/72 turboprops alongside Boeing 737s. The airport is not a freight facility: cargo moves as belly load or routes through Whitehorse (YXY) and onward via Vancouver. Its real value lies in medevac and resupply flights to road-inaccessible northern settlements.
