Saskatoon International Airport

Opened in the 1930s, Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport (YXE) operates from a single passenger terminal and is the primary gateway to Saskatoon and central Saskatchewan. This mid-sized airport handles a steady mix of domestic and seasonal international services, along with cargo and charter flights, making it an important regional travel hub. Located roughly 10 km north of downtown with easy access via Circle Drive and Highway 11, YXE is served by taxis, ride-shares, shuttle operators and limited public transit connections. Fares are generally competitive on domestic routes, so it’s often budget-friendly for travellers; key carriers include Air Canada, WestJet and several regional and low-cost airlines, with the airport serving as a regional base for many domestic operations.
