Remote northern Ontario gateway serving Manitouwadge township.

Location
Manitouwadge, Canada
Manitouwadge Airport (IATA: YMG, ICAO: CYMG) is a small regional airport located in Manitouwadge, a remote township in northwestern Ontario, Canada. It serves as the primary air access point for this isolated community, which is not connected to major highway networks year-round in a practical sense for regular commercial travel. The airport supports general aviation, charter flights, and occasional scheduled regional service, playing an important role in connecting residents to larger centers such as Thunder Bay. It is operated under the auspices of local or municipal authority and serves the needs of the mining and forestry industries prominent in the region. Given the small population of Manitouwadge, the airport sees limited traffic volumes but remains a critical piece of infrastructure for emergency services, medevac operations, and cargo transport to this northern community.
Terminals
The airport features a small, single terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes of a remote northern community.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between the airport and the township is limited, primarily relying on private vehicles or local arrangements given the small community size.
