Location
Fort Liard, Canada
Fort Liard Airport (IATA: YJF, ICAO: CYJF) is a small regional airport serving the community of Fort Liard in the Northwest Territories of Canada. Situated near the border with British Columbia and Yukon, the airport provides essential air access to this remote community of several hundred residents. The airport operates as a certified aerodrome under Transport Canada regulations and serves primarily charter and scheduled regional flights. It plays a vital role in connecting Fort Liard to larger centres, as road access to the community is limited and seasonal conditions can make ground travel challenging. Fort Liard is known for its mild microclimate relative to other NWT communities and is home to the Acho Dene Koe First Nation. The airport supports local industries including oil and gas exploration in the region.
Terminals
The airport has a small, basic terminal facility typical of remote northern Canadian aerodromes with minimal passenger amenities.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are limited; the Liard Highway (NWT Highway 7) provides seasonal road access connecting Fort Liard to the broader highway network.
Airlines here
