About Gimli Industrial Park Airport

Gimli Industrial Park Airport (IATA: YGM, ICAO: CYGM) is a civilian airport and former military field located 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) west of Gimli, Manitoba, Canada.

It now operates as a civilian airport, with one of the original parallel runways decommissioned and now a significant portion of Gimli Motorsports Park. Flying-related activities here include use by the Manitoba government's water bomber squadron, the Gimli Cadet Flying Site, 182 GM Stefnusfastur Squadron - Royal Canadian Air Cadets, Interlake Aviation flight school and charter service, and Prairie Helicopters - a helicopter charter and training company. Gimli is also used by No. 435 Transport and Rescue Squadron based out of No. 17 Wing Winnipeg, for training purposes, and as a skydive drop zone by Skydive Manitoba. In recent summers, the airport hosted glider pilot training for air cadets as Regional Gliding School (Northwest).
