Remote northern Manitoba gateway serving Island Lake communities.

Location
Island Lake, Canada
Island Lake Airport (IATA: YIV, ICAO: CYIV) is a small regional airport serving the Island Lake area in northern Manitoba, Canada. It provides essential air access to the remote communities of the Island Lake region, including Garden Hill, St. Theresa Point, Wasagamack, and Red Sucker Lake First Nations. The airport operates primarily as a lifeline facility for residents who depend on air travel for access to medical services, supplies, and connections to larger centres such as Winnipeg. Its remote location means it plays a critical role in the daily lives of the surrounding Indigenous communities. Given its status as a northern remote airport, Island Lake Airport sees limited scheduled commercial service but is vital for charter operations, medical evacuations, and cargo transport into an otherwise road-inaccessible region.
Terminals
The airport features a basic, small terminal building suited to low-volume regional traffic.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited due to the remote location, with local vehicles and community transportation being the primary means of access.
Airlines here
Perimeter Aviation has historically provided scheduled service connecting Island Lake to Winnipeg and other northern Manitoba communities.
