Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (YWG) is Manitoba’s main air gateway, sitting close in at only about 5 miles west of downtown Winnipeg.
A Compact, Modern Terminal
YWG operates out of a single modern terminal building, replacing an older facility in recent years, and its compact layout keeps connections and transfers straightforward.
One of the Closest Airports to Its Downtown
At roughly 5 to 6 miles out, YWG is closer to its city center than most major Canadian airports, putting downtown Winnipeg about 15 to 20 minutes away by car via Wellington Avenue.
Bus Service Covers the Rest
Winnipeg Transit buses connect the airport to downtown for travelers who’d rather skip a taxi, though the ride runs closer to 30 to 40 minutes depending on the route and stops.
