Yellowknife International Airport

Yellowknife International Airport (CYZF) is a medium airport in Yellowknife, Canada. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code CYZF or IATA code YZF. It sits in North America.

Yellowknife International 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.

Yellowknife International Airport sits near sea level at 675 ft.

Local operations run on America/Edmonton. 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 CYZF 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.
