TNDC Aviation is responsible for the ongoing operations of the airport, including passenger and ground handling, fueling, de-icing, inspections, snow and brush clearing, runway friction tests, runway sweeping and maintenance, and grounds maintenance.
In 2021, TNDC signed an agreement with the Crown Land lease owners Stikine Airport Society (SAS) to become the contract Airport Operator for the Dease Lake Airport (CYDL). As the contract airport operator of CYDL, TNDC is the one of only a few Indigenous organizations to manage an airport in British Columbia.
In collaboration with Newmont, TNDC has received training to offer emergency fire services at the Dease Lake Airport. An on-site first responder truck and a compressed air foam (CAFS) vehicle are ready to swiftly respond to any potential aircraft emergency.
TNDC’s Jet A fuel operations at the Dease Lake Airport supports medical evacuations, workforce transportation flights for the mining sector, firefighting and other chartered aircraft, providing a dedicated fuel source.
TNDC’s 100LL fuel operations serve small general aviation traffic visiting and passing through the Territory to Yukon and Alaska, on behalf of Stikine Airport Society.
