Yellowknife Airport

Yellowknife Airport was initially built by Canadian Pacific Airlines in 1944, then sold to the federal Department of Transport in 1946. A new terminal building was built in 1963 and control tower in 1972. Renovation to these facilities were completed in 1967, 1998 and 2005-2006. During the 2023 Canadian wildfires the city of Yellowknife was evacuated, and so the airport served as a means for evacuees to leave the city. Air Canada added extra flights to assist with the evacuation before suspending service to Yellowknife due to the fires. ==Airlines and destinations==
