Remote arctic gateway serving Nunavut's western Hudson Bay community.

Location
Arviat, Canada
Arviat Airport (IATA: YEK, ICAO: CYEK) is a small regional airport serving the hamlet of Arviat, Nunavut, Canada, located on the western shore of Hudson Bay. It is a critical transportation link for this remote community, as there are no roads connecting Arviat to the broader Canadian highway network. The airport handles scheduled passenger service and cargo flights, which are essential for supplying the community with food, fuel, and goods. Operations are typical of northern Canadian airports, with gravel or paved runways designed to handle arctic weather conditions. Arviat is one of Nunavut's larger communities by population, and the airport plays a vital role in supporting healthcare, government, and economic activities for residents who depend entirely on air travel for connections to southern Canada.
Terminals
The airport has a small single terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes of a remote arctic community.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport into Arviat is limited to local vehicles, taxis, and arranged pickups, as there is no public transit system.
Airlines here
Calm Air is the primary scheduled carrier serving Arviat Airport, providing connections to Churchill and other Nunavut communities.
