context_page_description: Dawson City Airport is located 8 nautical miles east of Dawson City, Yukon, Canada, in the Klondike River valley, and is operated by the Yukon government. It has a terminal building and a runway which was recently paved in May 2019. The asphalt runway is 5,003 ft × 100 ft long and at an elevation of 1,215 ft. 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 can normally handle aircraft with up to 15 passengers, but are equipped to handle daily Boeing 737 charters between Dawson City and Fairbanks during the peak summer tourism season.
