The Government of Yukon today announced that a special assistance line has been added to security screening at the Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport.
The line will provide those with mobility challenges, visual impairment and hearing impairment with a dedicated access point. It is available for use as of today.
It’s important that we provide Yukoners and visitors alike an accessible and comfortable experience when travelling from the Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport. I hope that the special assistance line helps to do just that.
