Airports
Winnipeg is currently served by the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (IATA: YWG, ICAO: CYWG) which is currently under redevelopment, with a new passenger terminal planned for completion in 2010. The existing terminal which was constructed in the early 1960s, will face either demolition or redevelopment as a museum, hotel, or other commercial facilities. The airport is operational 24 hours per day, handling about 3.5 million passengers annually, and is part of the national airports system of Canada. It is the only international airport between Toronto and Calgary capable of handling large freighter aircraft, and as such handles many arctic flights. From 1937 to 1949, the airport was the headquarters and site of the national maintenance base of Air Canada which has moved to Montreal-Dorval.
