Aklavik/Freddie Carmichael Airport guide

Aklavik/Freddie Carmichael Airport (ICAO CYKD) is the only year-round way into Aklavik, a Gwich'in and Inuvialuit community of about 540 people on the Peel Channel in the Mackenzie River delta, Northwest Territories. No all-season road reaches the town. In winter an ice road runs across the delta from Inuvik, and in summer float planes use the Aklavik Water Aerodrome.

The airport is owned and operated by the Government of the Northwest Territories. It has a single gravel runway, 14/32, 915 m (3,002 ft) long, at an elevation of 6 m. In winter the surface is a compacted mix of snow and gravel. A small terminal building serves passengers.

Traffic is light and local. Statistics Canada recorded an average of 1,243 aircraft movements a year over 2016 to 2018. North-Wright Airways is listed with seasonal service to Inuvik.
