Wekweètì Airport guide

Wekweètì Airport serves Wekweètì, a Tłı̨chǫ community of 109 people in the North Slave Region of the Northwest Territories. The community lies about 195 km north of Yellowknife and has no year-round road access, so the airport is its main link to the outside. A winter ice road also reaches the community for part of the year. The airport was formerly called Snare Lake Airport, after the community's earlier name.

The airport sits about 5.9 km east of the community. Its ICAO code is CYWE and its Transport Canada identifier is CFJ7. The single gravel runway, 13/31, is 914 m (2,999 ft) long. Field elevation is 368 m (1,208 ft).

The Government of the Northwest Territories operates the airport. Air Tindi provides the scheduled service, with flights to Yellowknife. Travellers should confirm schedules with the carrier before they travel.
