Getting Here by Air

Getting Here by Air It is easy to reach the Northwest Territories by air from major airports in southern and western Canada. There are direct jet flights to Yellowknife, for example, from Calgary, Edmonton and seasonally, Vancouver. The flight from Edmonton to Yellowknife is about one hour and 20 minutes. From Calgary, the flight is approximately two hours. Jet service is also available from Ottawa via Iqaluit, Nunavut.

Six airlines link the Northwest Territories to connection points in southern Canada: Air Canada Jazz, Canadian North, First Air, Air North, Northwestern Air Lease and WestJet.

Our busiest airport is Yellowknife, which serves as a connection point for flights in the Northwest Territories, and the hub for jet flights from the south.
