Remote airstrip serving the small Dene community of Sambaa K'e.
Location
Sambaa K'e, Canada
Sambaa K'e Airport (ICAO: CEU9) is a small, uncontrolled aerodrome located in Sambaa K'e (formerly Trout Lake), a remote Dene community in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The airport serves as the primary and often only practical means of year-round access to the community, as no all-season road connects Sambaa K'e to the broader highway network.
The airstrip supports light aircraft and small charter operations, providing essential links for residents, medical evacuations, and the delivery of goods and supplies. Given the community's remote location and small population, scheduled commercial airline service is extremely limited and the airport operates at a basic level of infrastructure.
Getting to & from
