Transportation and Travel Services
Getting here is as simple as boarding Air Canada or Air North flights to Whitehorse from Vancouver, BC, or Calgary or Edmonton, Alberta. Vancouver is conveniently connected nationally and internationally. The flight from Vancouver to Whitehorse takes approximately two hours and from Los Angeles to Whitehorse, 5 hours.Charter aircraft are readily available in the territory, and there is scheduled air service to all of the Yukon's major communities. If you are shipping from Vancouver, count on three days (36 hours of driving) for a truck to travel the Alaska Highway to Whitehorse. Winter months may extend the travel time. In a rush? The Yukon has courier and shipping companies that will get your rushes in and out on a daily basis.
From Jet Rangers to Hueys, from Super Cubs to Otters, from pressurized turbo twins to DC3s and 4s you'll find a flock of helicopters, float planes, and airplanes in the Yukon. Every community has an airport and you'll also find landing strips in remote parts of the Far North and on the Dempster Highway. Float planes make it possible to go anywhere where there's water.
