As part of the ongoing Yellowknife Airport Gateway Strategy, the Yellowknife Airport Land Use Plan has been published on the FlyYZF website, providing a framework to guide future airport development and land use decisions.
The Land Use Plan supports future growth by identifying opportunities for aviation, commercial and infrastructure development while balancing operational, environmental and community considerations.
YZF has launched its new and improved website: FlyYZF.ca, designed to deliver a modern, streamlined, and user-friendly experience for visitors, partners, and communities.
The newly launched site offers improved navigation, updated content, and enhanced features to better serve travelers and residents. Users can now more easily access important information, stay up to date on the latest news, and explore everything related to the Yellowknife Airport in one convenient location.
Yellowknife Airport will be conducting a live security exercise on December 9, 2025, as part of our commitment to safety and emergency preparedness.
In accordance with the Canadian Aviation Security Regulations, aerodrome operators are required to conduct a live security exercise at least once every two years. This exercise is designed to test the effectiveness of the airport’s emergency plan in response to an act of unlawful interference with civil aviation.
What to Expect:
Yellowknife Airport (YZF) is proud to announce a new partnership with Not In My City, a Canadian movement dedicated to ending human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
What this means:
Annual traffic at the Yellowknife Airport (YZF) reached over 618,000 passengers in 2025, marking a 2% increase in recorded traffic compared to 2024.
This growth was driven by increased regional travel, expanded airline routes, more flight frequencies, and heightened interest in tourism and business opportunities in the area. These statistics reflect the continued strength of air travel in the Northwest Territories and the airport’s role as a vital hub for northern connectivity.
