Kuujjuaq Airport — Kuujjuaq, Canada

Kuujjuaq Airport (YVP) serves Kuujjuaq, the largest community in Quebec's Nunavik region and the administrative center for the area's Inuit population. Situated well north of the province's road network, YVP functions as the primary air transportation hub for the entire Nunavik region, connecting numerous smaller Inuit villages along Ungava Bay and Hudson Strait to Montreal and each other. The airport handles passenger travel, freight, mail, and medical evacuation flights that are essential given the total absence of road or rail access to the area. Kuujjuaq's gravel-turned-paved runway has been upgraded over the years to accommodate larger regional aircraft, reflecting the community's role as Nunavik's de facto capital.
