Wabush Airport — Wabush, Canada

Wabush Airport (YWK) serves the town of Wabush in western Labrador, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, an area built around large-scale iron ore mining operations. The airport supports scheduled passenger flights connecting to St. John's, Montreal, and other regional hubs, primarily serving mining company personnel, contractors, and local residents in a region with limited road connectivity to the rest of the province. Wabush's economy has fluctuated with global iron ore markets, and airport traffic often reflects the operational status of nearby mining sites. YWK's runway and terminal facilities, while modest, remain essential infrastructure for a community with few alternative transportation options given Labrador's rugged terrain.
