Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport is located in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. The airport was renamed in honour of longtime Yukon Member of Parliament Erik Nielsen on December 15, 2008. With a few exceptions, airport codes starting with ‘Y’ designate Canadian airports. The ‘XY’ isn’t as clear. The ‘Y’ likely stands for Yukon, and it’s said the ‘X’ is a filler letter.
