Yukon Time Zone clocks ahead yet another hour on October 30, 1983 to adopt Alaska Standard Time (the former Yukon Standard Time), effectively changing their standard time zone by two hours. Most of the Aleutian Islands moved from the Bering Time Zone (UTC-11) to the Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time Zone (UTC-10) (until 1983 known as the Alaska-Hawaii Standard Time Zone). Yukon Time Zone The Yukon Time Zone was a time zone that kept standard time; Yukon Standard Time (YST) was obtained by subtracting nine hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) resulting in UTC−9. Yukon Daylight Time (YDT) when observed was eight hours behind UTC.
