Manitouwadge Airport (YMG)

Manitouwadge Airport is a small municipal airport serving the town of Manitouwadge and the surrounding Thunder Bay District in northwestern Ontario. Located about 5 km southwest of the town centre, it primarily supports general aviation, private flights and medevac operations rather than scheduled commercial passenger services. The airport operates a single asphalt runway, 05/23, which is approximately 1,098 metres long, and a compact terminal building with basic passenger facilities. Its role is especially important for connecting this remote community with regional centres and for supporting emergency medical transport. By road, Manitouwadge sits at the northern end of Highway 614, roughly 330 km east of Thunder Bay and about 380 km northwest of Sault Ste. Marie, with the nearest major airport at Thunder Bay. The airport itself is reached by a short local road connection, with taxi and pre-arranged vehicle options for continuing into town. For travellers and flight operators, the airport provides a straightforward entry point to this part of northwestern Ontario, with fuel, basic terminal amenities and convenient access to local accommodation and services nearby.
