Winnipeg Int'l Airport by Kevin McDougal

26 October 2007   Customer Rating :

YWG is a smaller airport originally built in the early '60s, and the existing terminal is to be replaced with a new facility by about the end of the decade. Food and retail services are average, and mostly concentrated outside of the secure area of the airport. The airside part of the terminal is dark and gloomy, however, thanks to a late '50s/early '60s architectural style that seemed to regard natural light as something to be kept out rather than let in. Making a connection through Winnipeg should be a fairly quick process due to the airport's compact size and the fact that it's not a hub airport. However, those with a long wait between flights might feel the need to leave the confines of the airside part of the terminal.

It's nice to see that Winnipeg International is finally building a brand new facility. The new terminal will be gorgeous once it opens in late 2008. Till then we will make do with the very tired terminal we have. Winnipeg will finally have an airport to be proud of!

I fly out of Winnipeg International almost everyday. See I am a student Pilot and I love Winnipeg International. It has the best ATC and has a small traffic flow for a major airport. Flying is my life so Winnipeg International is part of my life!  If you're worried about some tombstones being outside the airport, you have more problems than with just the Airport!

I flew Vancouver-Chicago and transfered thru from Winnipeg. It was a quick stopover and unless they modernized it, I found it to be small, plain, and boring. The airport staff were very nice and helpful and the passenger screening was professional. When my aircraft was taxing to get to the end of the runway, out of my window behind a fence I saw an adjacent cemetery with tombstones. Now an airport and a cemetery do no belong in the same place. I felt like a recently departed person among the dearly departed.  Either the airport has got to go or the cemetery.
