Tulita Airport

Tulita Airport (IATA: ZFN, ICAO: CZFN) is a small regional airport serving the community of Tulita, located in the Sahtu region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. Situated at the confluence of the Mackenzie and Great Bear rivers, it provides essential air access to this remote Indigenous community of approximately 500 residents. The airport operates a gravel runway and serves primarily as a lifeline for residents, supporting the transport of passengers, freight, mail, and medical supplies. Aviation is the primary mode of long-distance transportation for Tulita, as no all-season road connects the community to the territorial highway network. Regional carriers operating scheduled and charter services link Tulita to Norman Wells and other communities in the Northwest Territories. The airport is managed under the broader framework of Northwest Territories infrastructure and is critical to the community's connectivity and economic activity.
