Rae Lakes Airport guide

Gamètì/Rae Lakes Airport serves Gamètì, a Tłı̨chǫ community of 252 residents at the 2021 census, in the North Slave Region of the Northwest Territories. The community has no all-weather road, and an ice road is sometimes built in winter, so the airport is its main year-round link. The IATA code is YRA and the ICAO code is CYRA.

The airport sits about 3 km from the community at an elevation of 221 m (724 ft). It has one gravel runway, 14/32, measuring 3,000 ft (914 m). A small terminal building handles passengers. Barren-ground caribou may be found on the runway. The Government of the Northwest Territories Department of Infrastructure operates and maintains it as one of the 27 airports it is responsible for across the territory. The department lists the airport as open Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, Saturday 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and Sunday 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, with cellphone service and no other public facilities.

Air Tindi is the listed scheduled carrier, flying to Yellowknife. Confirm current schedules with the airline before travelling.
