Remote gateway serving the South Slave region of the Northwest Territories.

Location
Fort Resolution, Canada
Fort Resolution Airport (IATA: YFR, ICAO: CYFR) is a small regional airport located in Fort Resolution, Northwest Territories, Canada. It serves the community of Fort Resolution, one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the Northwest Territories, situated on the southern shore of Great Slave Lake. The airport is classified as a certified aerodrome and supports essential air services for this remote community, which has no year-round road connection to the broader highway network. Air transport is therefore a critical lifeline for residents, supplying goods and enabling travel to larger centres such as Yellowknife.
Terminals
The airport has a basic, small terminal facility typical of remote Northwest Territories community aerodromes, with minimal passenger amenities.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options from the airport are limited, primarily consisting of private vehicles or local arrangements, as Fort Resolution lacks a public transit system.
Airlines here
Air Tindi and other small regional carriers have historically provided scheduled and charter services linking Fort Resolution to Yellowknife and surrounding communities.
