Air North says it’s bringing back non-stop flights between Yellowknife and Vancouver, starting in November.
Flights will run twice weekly from November 24, 2025 until March 27, 2026, the Yukon-based airline said in a Thursday news release.
“This reinstated route enhances direct air travel between British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. Excitingly, it also enables near year-round air service between Whitehorse and Yellowknife,” Air North stated.
Air North first offered direct flights between Yellowknife and Vancouver for a short period in early 2020, immediately prior to the pandemic. Air Canada also operates direct flights on the same route.
Air North’s chief commercial officer, Ben Ryan, said bringing back the service “aligns with our mission to deliver Canada’s best regional air network.”

“We see this route as a meaningful step toward strengthening connections between the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. Our track record of delivering safe, reliable, and affordable air access in the North continues to contribute to community well-being and long-term economic development,” Ryan was quoted as saying.
NWT Tourism, in the same press release, said it was “very excited” to welcome back the service, saying the route – which will be operated by Boeing 737 aircraft – “fosters meaningful opportunities for tourism, business, and cultural connection.”
Air North said tickets will start at $139 one-way.
