A warm welcome

Shop dine and explore at the Winnipeg Richardson International Airport

By: Meetings Winnipeg // May 8, 2018

Welcome to Winnipeg

Winnipeg Richardson International Airport is often the first impression visitors have of our city. In 2016, we welcomed over four million passengers to the airport including thousands of delegates for all types and sizes of meetings, conventions and conferences.

Airport Welcome Program

This big city airport still has a small town feel with all arriving passengers filtering into our grand Arrivals Hall. Many meeting organizers use this area to meet and greet incoming delegates and VIPs. We can help with your welcome by providing promotional support such as a table and chairs for your welcome team, as well as digital signage. Not only will these placements help delegates feel welcome, they will also provide awareness to airport visitors and employees about your special event happening in our community.

Let us help you make your delegates feel welcome when they arrive in Winnipeg.

A Lasting Impression

Your delegates will spend even more time in Winnipeg Richardson International Airport as they depart and for us the last impression is equally as important as the first. We can work with retail concessions and food and beverage outlets to provide your delegates with unique offers. Winnipeg Richardson International Airport is home to over 20 retail and food and beverage concessions. From light snacks to sitdown restaurants and souvenirs to electronics, anything you need is just around the corner.

Plaza Premium Lounge offers departing and in-transit passengers a quiet place to relax, enjoy a hot meal and complimentary beverages all for one flat rate. Use this innovative space to catch up on emails, watch TV or read a magazine. The tranquil rhythms of the overhead music will be just what you need before your flight. Should you become too relaxed the staff at Plaza Premium Lounge will ensure you arrive promptly at your gate for boarding.
