Norman Wells Airport

Where is Norman Wells Airport?  


Norman Wells Airport (IATA: YVQ, ICAO: CYVQ) is the most modern airport facility in the Canadian far north. YVQ Airport is located adjacent to Norman Wells, the regional centre for the Sahtu Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. The airport was built by Imperial Oil (the town's main employer) and boasts a very attractive terminal.


Airlines serving Norman Wells Airport include Canadian North, First Air and North-Wright Airways.


Destinations served include Colville Lake, Deline, Edmonton, Fort Good Hope, Inuvik, Tulita and Yellowknife.


Aside of the airport, subarctic Norman Wells is only accessible, in winter, by driving over the winter ice road that connects with Fort Simpson and Wrigley (usually open December-March).


In summer, Norman Wells is accessible by boat via the Mackenzie River, or by floatplane via the nearby Norman Wells Water Aerodrome (June-September).


Your best bet for a Norman Wells Airport transfer is a taxi. Details on all options are included in this guide.
