Location
Fort Resolution, Canada
Fort Resolution Airport (IATA: YFR, ICAO: CYFR) is a small regional airport serving the community of Fort Resolution in the Northwest Territories, Canada. Located on the southern shore of Great Slave Lake, it provides essential air access to this remote Indigenous community of several hundred residents. The airport is operated under Transport Canada's remote and northern airports program and serves as a critical lifeline for passenger travel, mail, and cargo delivery to a community that has limited road access during certain seasons. It features a gravel runway capable of accommodating small aircraft. Given its remote location and small population base, Fort Resolution Airport sees limited scheduled service, with operations typically provided by regional charter and scheduled carriers serving communities throughout the Northwest Territories.
