There are few places left in the world that truly feel vast and unspoiled. The Yukon is one of them. With towering mountains, winding rivers, vibrant northern communities, and skies that glow with the midnight sun in summer and the northern lights in fall and winter, the territory offers travellers a rare opportunity to experience nature at its most spectacular. With Air North, Yukon’s Airline, exploring Canada’s North is easier than ever, whether you’re travelling for adventure, culture, or business.
Seamless Connections Across Western Canada
Air North has built a strong network connecting British Columbia and the North, with daily flights between Vancouver (YVR), Kelowna (YLW), and Victoria (YYJ). These routes make it easy for travellers across BC to connect seamlessly to northern destinations, like Dawson City in the Yukon.
From these gateways, passengers can travel directly to Whitehorse year-round, or continue to Yellowknife, with seasonal service operating from August through March. If you’re looking to catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis, it’s never been easier to book an extended weekend getaway.
Travel the Northern Way
Air North has spent nearly 50 years connecting communities across the North, building a reputation for reliability, comfort, and genuine northern hospitality.
The airline focuses on offering exceptional service before you travel and throughout your flight. Air North believes in providing true value with no surprises. Every fare includes complimentary meals and baggage, meaning passengers can bring one carry-on, one personal item, and two checked bags at no extra cost—so no need to worry about leaving behind hiking gear, fishing equipment, or outdoor adventure essentials, you can bring it all.
Comfort is also part of the experience. Air North’s Boeing aircraft feature 32 inches of seat pitch and reclining seats, offering more space to relax while enjoying a light meal prepared in the airline’s own Whitehorse kitchen. Combined with strong on-time performance and nearly 50 years of service, Air North has earned a loyal following among travellers heading north.
Air North is also a trusted travel partner for professionals working across Western Canada and the North. Frequent travellers can take advantage of Business Travel Passes, offering convenient and flexible travel between British Columbia and the Yukon. The airline also offers corporate account programs, designed to support businesses that regularly travel across the region. With reliable service and seamless connections, Air North helps professionals stay connected to northern communities and industries year-round.
A Playground of Wilderness and Wonder
In summer, the Yukon comes alive under the midnight sun. When daylight stretches late into the evening, outdoor adventures seem to have no time limit, which means you can have your fill (and then some) of hiking alpine trails, canoeing along pristine rivers, paddleboarding on glassy lakes, biking through mountain landscapes, and spotting wildlife in vast protected wilderness.
There are plenty of opportunities for city breaks, too. Whitehorse, the Yukon’s capital, brings a lively arts and culinary scene, and nearby communities have their own unique charms. Just beyond the city, you’ll find rich Indigenous culture and heritage, and the chance to learn about the traditions and stories of the First Nations who have lived on these lands for thousands of years.
As summer turns to fall, cooler nights and darker skies create ideal conditions for viewing the northern lights. Travellers can spend their days exploring golden tundra landscapes and their evenings gazing upward as vibrant ribbons of green, pink, and purple ripple across the sky. With fewer crowds and comfortable temperatures, autumn in the Yukon feels especially magical.
Closer Than You Think
For many travellers, Canada’s North may feel distant and mysterious. But with Air North’s network and convenient connections, the Yukon is more accessible than ever. Even better, your adventure can continue on in the Yukon, with convenient connections available to other Northern destinations, like Dawson City, where you’ll find even more adventures.
Whether you’re planning a long summer adventure or a quick fall escape to catch the aurora, the convenience of direct connections means less time navigating airports and more time exploring everything that makes the North unforgettable.
