Elliot Lake Municipal Airport

Elliot Lake Municipal Airport (IATA: YEL, ICAO: CYEL) is a small regional airport serving the city of Elliot Lake in Northern Ontario, Canada. It provides essential air access to a community historically built around uranium mining and now known as a retirement community. The airport features a single paved runway and handles general aviation traffic, charter flights, and occasional scheduled service. It is owned and operated by the City of Elliot Lake and plays a role in supporting local emergency services and medevac operations. Given its remote location on the north shore of Lake Huron, the airport serves as a critical link for residents who would otherwise face long drives to reach larger centres such as Sudbury or Sault Ste. Marie.
