Remote gateway serving Labrador's iron ore mining region.

Location

Wabush, Canada

Wabush Airport (IATA: YWK) is a small regional airport located near the town of Wabush in western Labrador, Canada. It primarily serves the mining communities of Wabush and Labrador City, providing essential air links for residents and workers in this remote region.
