Airport contact
Serves the Denesuline (Chipewyan Dene) community of Lutselk'e (formerly Snowdrift until 1992), home of the Lutsel K'e Dene First Nation, on the south shore of Great Slave Lake at the edge of Thaidene Nene National Park Reserve; Air Tindi's Twin Otters provide the community's only scheduled year-round link to Yellowknife, about a 45-minute flight, as the community has no road access.
