Puvirnituq Airport — Puvirnituq, Canada

Puvirnituq Airport, coded YPX, serves the Inuit community of Puvirnituq in Nunavik, the northern region of Quebec bordering Hudson Bay. As with many airports in this remote Arctic and subarctic region, YPX functions as a critical lifeline, providing the only reliable year-round transportation link for residents, medical evacuations, and the delivery of essential goods.
