Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport

YXY: regional context and official resources

YXY/CYXY identifies Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport in Whitehorse, Yukon. The Government of Yukon owns and operates the airport. Its public airport contact information identifies this location separately from other territorial aviation facilities; the code pair is useful when a flight record uses an abbreviated destination.

Whitehorse's catalog coordinates provide an anchor for exploring the Yukon flight map. A track observed near the airport may not carry a usable destination field, so proximity alone is not sufficient to label an arrival. Regional gaps in public observations can also leave the airport table empty without proving that passenger or other aviation activity has stopped.

Yukon's official airport and transport resources should be used for passenger access and airport information. PocketWorld's listed elevation and timezone are reference attributes, not a current operating bulletin. Compare any aircraft observation with its reported time and route, then confirm itinerary changes with the airline rather than estimating connections from map distances.

The airport codes, coordinates, elevation and timezone below come from the local airport reference catalog. They are not a current operating bulletin.

Using the Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport airport profile

Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport serves Whitehorse, CA, at reference coordinates 60.7096, -135.0670. Its canonical aviation identifier on PocketWorld is ICAO code CYXY| IATA: YXY. The listed elevation and timezone come from the airport reference catalog and help place the airfield on the globe; they are not a substitute for an aeronautical information publication or a current airport notice.

Geographically, Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport is recorded in Whitehorse, Yukon, CA, north of the equator and west of Greenwich. At 2317 feet in the reference catalog, it is grouped here as an elevated airport; its timezone identifier is America/Whitehorse. These stable attributes help distinguish the airport from places with similar names or shared metropolitan codes.

The flight section reports only aircraft found in PocketWorld's latest available public ADS-B snapshot with enough origin or destination metadata to associate them with YXY. Receiver coverage, provider availability, transponder settings and metadata quality vary by region and aircraft. A flight can therefore be operating normally without appearing here, and a callsign or airport pair can be missing, delayed or stale.

Position data is not an airline schedule

An observed aircraft position can help explain where a flight was recently seen, together with altitude, speed and route fields when those values are present. It does not by itself confirm a gate, terminal, boarding time, delay, diversion or cancellation. Arrivals and departures shown here are matches from public telemetry, not a complete airport operations board.
