Yellowknife International Airport — Yellowknife, Canada

Yellowknife Airport (YZF) is the capital gateway to Canada's Northwest Territories, serving Yellowknife on the shores of Great Slave Lake. As the busiest airport in the territories, YZF handles scheduled jet service to Edmonton, Calgary, and other major cities, alongside a dense network of charter and floatplane operations supporting mining exploration, diamond industry logistics, and remote community resupply across the vast Arctic and subarctic north. The airport also serves as a launch point for aurora borealis tourism, drawing visitors hoping to witness the northern lights against Yellowknife's dark subarctic skies. YZF's dual role in commerce and tourism makes it the aviation heart of Canada's north.
