Dawson City Airport

Dawson City Airport (CYDA) is a medium airport in Dawson City, Canada. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code CYDA or IATA code YDA. It sits in North America.

Dawson City Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Dawson City Airport lies at 1,215 ft elevation.

Local operations run on America/Dawson. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess inventory for CYDA updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

Dawson City Airport is located 8 nautical miles east of Dawson City, Yukon, Canada, in the Klondike River valley, and is operated by the Yukon government. It has a terminal building and a runway which was paved in May 2019. The asphalt runway is 5,003 ft × 100 ft long and at an elevation of 1,215 ft (370 m). A number of studies have recommended moving the airport or realigning the runway as it is in a narrow mountain valley.
