Sioux Lookout Airport

Sioux Lookout Airport (CYXL) is a medium airport in Sioux Lookout, Canada. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code CYXL or IATA code YXL. It sits in North America.

Sioux Lookout 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.

Sioux Lookout Airport lies at 1,258 ft elevation.

Local operations run on America/Winnipeg. 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 CYXL 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.
