Leaf Rapids Airport (IATA: YLR, ICAO: CYLR) is a small regional airport located near Leaf Rapids, a remote mining town in northern Manitoba, Canada. The airport serves as a vital air link for a community that has limited road access, particularly during certain seasons. The airport operates a single paved runway and provides essential transportation connections for residents, workers, and supplies in this isolated region of the Canadian Shield. Charter and scheduled regional services have historically connected Leaf Rapids to larger Manitoba centres such as Thompson and Winnipeg. Leaf Rapids itself was established in the early 1970s in association with the development of a copper-zinc mine, and the airport has supported the community's needs since that era. Air transport remains critical to the town given the challenging terrain and northern geography.
