Coral Harbour Airport
Coral Harbour Airport, given the code YZS, serves the Inuit hamlet of Coral Harbour on Southampton Island in Nunavut, Canada's northernmost territory. As with most Arctic communities, air travel is the only practical year-round transportation option, since no road network connects Coral Harbour to other settlements. The airport handles passenger service, cargo deliveries, and medical evacuations essential to the community's survival. YZS was originally developed during the Second World War as part of a strategic air route, and it later became a staple of Arctic aviation infrastructure. Today it remains a critical link for supplies, food, and services reaching this remote northern outpost.
