Elliot Lake Municipal Airport — Elliot Lake, Canada

Elliot Lake Municipal Airport, coded YEL, serves the town of Elliot Lake in northern Ontario, a community originally built around uranium mining that has since reinvented itself as a retirement and outdoor recreation destination. The airport supports general aviation, medevac flights, and occasional charter service, given the long distances separating Elliot Lake from larger northern Ontario hospitals and commercial centers. YEL's surrounding landscape of lakes and boreal forest attracts anglers, hunters, and retirees drawn to the area's affordable living and quiet scenery. While it no longer serves the mining industry that once defined the town, the airfield remains a practical link for a community that has successfully diversified its economy.
