Rae Lakes Airport

Rae Lakes Airport (IATA: YRA, ICAO: CYRA) is a small, remote airport serving Gamètì (formerly known as Rae Lakes), a Tłı̨chǫ First Nation community in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The airport provides essential air access to a community that has no year-round road connection to the broader highway network. As with many remote northern Canadian airports, Rae Lakes Airport is a critical lifeline for residents, supporting the transport of passengers, mail, and supplies. Air service is typically provided by small regional carriers operating under charter or scheduled arrangements serving Yellowknife and surrounding communities. The airport is owned and managed under local or territorial authority and operates on a basic infrastructure model suited to the low traffic volumes of its small, isolated community.
