Filming at Yukon aerodromes and airports

Security at Yukon airports is a high-priority. If you are considering filming at a Yukon airport or aerodrome it is essential that you get the clearance and/or permission required.  

To ensure all safety precautions and appropriate notices are provided to the regulatory agency, Transport Canada, you must contact the Government of Yukon, Department of Highways and Public Works, Aviation Branch, for a permit.

You will be required to secure a permit by entering into a Government of Yukon licence agreement for your activity and you must provide proof of insurance. The agreement covers your liability, explains the airport manager’s control, and specifies how, when, where and who is permitted to occupy airport lands. Clearances to restricted areas are controlled through Transport Canada and are subject to a Canadian Security and Intelligence Service review.

Be sure to give yourself sufficient lead time as clearance can take between 30 days and 3 months depending on the nature of your activity and its location.
