Dawson City Airport (IATA: YDA, ICAO: CYDA) is located 8 nautical
miles (15 km; 9.2 mi) east of Dawson City, Yukon, Canada, in the Klondike River
valley, and is operated by the Yukon government. It has a terminal building and like most
airports in its class, the runway is not paved. The gravel runway is 5,006 ft (1,526 m)
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.
The airport is classified as an airport of entry by Nav Canada and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
CBSA officers at this airport can normally handle aircraft with up to 15 passengers, but are equipped to handle daily Boeing
737 charters between Dawson City and Fairbanks (Fairbanks International Airport) during the peak summer tourism season.
