Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport is a moderate-elevation field at 1,653 ft (504 m), positioned at 52.1707° N, 106.7008° W in the Northern high mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 8,300 ft / 2,530 m. The airport clock uses America/Regina (CST, UTC-06:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.

YXE is compared with YEG Edmonton at 480 km, YYC Calgary at 517 km, YWG Winnipeg at 707 km, YLW Kelowna at 918 km, YVR Vancouver at 1205 km inside the retained Canada airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
YXE-YEG Edmonton: 480 km, about 1h 26m, +0h. YXE-YYC Calgary: 517 km, about 1h 29m, +0h. YXE-YWG Winnipeg: 707 km, about 1h 44m, +1h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies YXE as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Saskatoon.
YXE (CYXE) is a moderate-elevation field at 1,653 ft (504 m) in the high mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
YXE sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
YXE's runway record lists 2 runways, with the longest runway at 8,300 ft / 2,530 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt (2).
Transport Canada is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for YXE.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at skyxe.ca, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
YXE uses America/Regina (CST, UTC-06:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport is about 4.8 km from central Saskatoon; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
YEG Edmonton is the closest retained alternate at 480 km, time difference +0h.
skyxe.ca is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place YXE inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
YXE ranks #9 in the curated Canada airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 13 airports.
YXE has no other retained airport in the same IANA zone cohort, making America/Regina a more distinctive signal for this page.
YXE is 1,653 ft (504 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include HHN 1,649 ft (503 m) (4 ft delta) · CTU 1,625 ft (495 m) (28 ft delta) · COR 1,604 ft (489 m) (49 ft delta) · SJJ 1,708 ft (521 m) (55 ft delta) · XIY 1,572 ft (479 m) (81 ft delta).
