Location

Gillam, Canada

Gillam Airport (IATA: YGX, ICAO: CYGX) is a small regional airport located in Gillam, Manitoba, Canada. It serves as the primary air access point for this remote community situated in northern Manitoba, near the Nelson River and Manitoba Hydro's major hydroelectric generating stations. The airport supports both scheduled passenger services and charter flights, playing a critical role in connecting Gillam to larger centers such as Winnipeg. Given the limited road access to the region, air travel is an essential mode of transportation for residents and workers. Gillam is closely associated with Manitoba Hydro operations, and the airport regularly handles workers and equipment related to hydroelectric projects in the area, including ongoing construction at the Keeyask Generating Station.
