Dawson City Airport (IATA: YDA, ICAO: CYDA) is located 15 km east of Dawson City, Yukon, Canada, in the Klondike River valley, and is operated by the Yukon government. It has a terminal building but, unlike most airports in its class, the runway is not paved. The gravel runway is 1,524 metres (5,000 feet) long. The airport is at an elevation of 370 metres (1,215 feet). A number of studies have recommended moving the airport or realigning the runway as it is in a narrow mountain valley.

The airport is classified as an airport of entry by NAV CANADA and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency. CBSA officers at this airport currently can handle aircraft with no more than 30 passengers.[1]
