About Tadoule Lake Airport

Tadoule Lake Airport, identified by IATA code XTL and ICAO code CYTL, is a remote community aerodrome operated to serve the Sayisi Dene community and visiting travellers in northern Manitoba. The airport features a gravel runway of approximately 1,189 metres, which accommodates turboprop and light jet aircraft suitably equipped for unprepared surfaces. Facilities are modest and in keeping with the airport’s remote character, with basic apron handling and no full terminal infrastructure. Given the airport’s northern latitude, operations are subject to seasonal daylight constraints and weather conditions typical of the subarctic. Customs formalities for international arrivals should be pre-arranged through Canadian Border Services Agency, as no permanent customs facility is stationed on site.
