Yellowknife Airport Security Exercise

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:

YZF reports 2% increase in passenger traffic

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.
