## Description

A gravel strip rather than a freight facility: Haines Junction Airport (IATA: YHT, ICAO: CYHT) in southwestern Yukon has a 1,529 m unpaved runway, no scheduled airline service and no cargo handling of any kind. The field sits about four kilometres northwest of the community, at the point where the Haines Road branches off the Alaska Highway beside Kluane National Park. It is run as a Yukon government community airport and used by one fixed-wing charter operator and two helicopter companies flying tourism, survey and supply missions. With no cargo terminal, no cold-chain capacity and no customs post, dangerous goods and large consignments cannot be processed here. General and express freight for the community travels roughly 155 road kilometres along the Alaska Highway to Erik Nielsen International at Whitehorse (YXY), the nearest airport with freight handling and customs. Intercontinental air freight for the region normally routes through Vancouver (YVR), while traffic towards Alaska is practical via Anchorage (ANC). Charter and medevac planning should account for the gravel surface and for winter operating conditions.
