Kuujjuarapik Airport — Kuujjuarapik, Canada

Kuujjuarapik Airport, coded YGW, serves the northern Quebec village of Kuujjuarapik, located where the Great Whale River meets Hudson Bay. This remote community includes both Inuit and Cree populations, and the airport functions as an essential transportation hub given the absence of year-round road access to southern Quebec. YGW handles scheduled passenger flights, cargo shipments, and medical evacuations, serving as a critical lifeline for the region's food security and healthcare needs. The airport's gravel runway and basic facilities are typical of Nunavik's aviation infrastructure, underscoring how air travel remains the primary means of connecting isolated subarctic communities to the rest of Canada.
