Airport contact
Air North's principal Yukon hub outside Whitehorse, with scheduled links to Whitehorse, Old Crow and Inuvik plus seasonal Boeing 737 charters to Fairbanks, Alaska; the runway was repaved in May 2019 and the airport is a CBSA-staffed port of entry serving Dawson City's Klondike Gold Rush tourism trade. Yukon abolished seasonal clock changes in March 2020 and now observes permanent Pacific Time (UTC-7) year-round with no DST switching.
