Flights to Winnipeg
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Winnipeg is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (YWG), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 11,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport | YWG | 7 km (4 mi) | 11,000 ft | 783 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,000 ft, YWG can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 783 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
