Lutselk'e Airport guide

Lutselk'e Airport serves the Dene community of Lutselk'e on the East Arm of Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories. The community has no all-season road connection, so the airport is its year-round link to the rest of the territory. The ICAO code is CYLK.

The airfield sits about 2 km northeast of the settlement at an elevation of 179 m. It has a single gravel runway, 08/26, which is 915 m long. The Government of the Northwest Territories operates the airport. Caribou sometimes cross the runway, and the terrain makes night operations difficult.

Air Tindi is the scheduled carrier and flies the route to Yellowknife. The Government of the Northwest Territories also tenders charter flights to the community, including freight-only runs. The airport recorded 1,817 aircraft movements in 2010.
