Remote Northwest Territories gateway serving the community of Wrigley.

Location
Wrigley, Canada
Wrigley Airport (IATA: YWY, ICAO: CYWY) is a small regional airport serving the hamlet of Wrigley in the Northwest Territories of Canada. Located along the Mackenzie River valley, it provides essential air access to this remote community, which has no year-round road connection to the broader highway network. The airport is operated under the authority of Transport Canada and serves primarily as a lifeline facility for local residents, offering connections to larger regional centres. Charter and scheduled service operations support the community's basic transportation and supply needs. Given Wrigley's small population of fewer than 200 residents, the airport handles very limited traffic but remains a critical piece of infrastructure for emergency services, goods delivery, and passenger travel in this isolated part of northern Canada.
Terminals
The airport has basic, minimal terminal facilities consistent with a remote northern community airstrip.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited, as Wrigley is a small hamlet accessible mainly by air or seasonal ice road.
Airlines here
Service is primarily provided by small regional and charter carriers operating in the Northwest Territories, with no major airline presence.
