## Description

Set beside Teslin Lake on the Alaska Highway in southern Yukon, Teslin Airport (YZW) is a remote strip ringed by boreal forest. It serves general aviation, medevac and on-demand flights for the local Tlingit community and highway travellers, with no scheduled airline or freighter service. The airport has no cargo terminal; regional air freight runs through Whitehorse (YXY), the territory's only sizeable cargo airport. The Alaska Highway carries most of the area's freight by road to and from British Columbia. For shippers, YZW is an on-demand field rather than an air-cargo point.
