Airport contact
Gravel-strip community airport for Deline (Délı̨nę), a Sahtu Dene/Metis community on the shore of Great Bear Lake; served primarily by North-Wright Airways (based in Norman Wells) with connections via Norman Wells/Tulita to Yellowknife, plus Buffalo Airways cargo service. No published annual passenger total is available for this small community strip (Wikipedia cites 1,966 aircraft movements in 2010, not passengers). Northwest Territories keeps the standard seasonal DST switch on Mountain Time, unlike neighbouring Yukon, which abolished DST for permanent Pacific Time in March 2020.
