## Description

With a permanent population of barely a hundred, the Dene community of Wrigley relies on a single gravel strip to stay connected through the long northern winters. The airport (IATA: YWY) sits on the Mackenzie River in Canada's Northwest Territories — not in California, as the record long stated. Service consists of charter and on-demand flights by small turboprops carrying residents, mail and general goods to the isolated settlement. There is no cargo terminal or customs post here; heavier air freight is routed through Yellowknife, the territorial gateway. A seasonal ice road along the Mackenzie supplements supplies overland each winter.
