Location

Igloolik, Canada

Igloolik Airport (IATA: YGT, ICAO: CYGT) is a small regional airport serving the community of Igloolik in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. It provides essential air access to this remote Arctic community, which has no road connections to other communities. The airport supports scheduled passenger services as well as charter and medevac flights, which are critical lifelines for the roughly 2,000 residents of Igloolik. Given the extreme Arctic climate and the community's geographic isolation, air transport is the primary means of reaching the settlement year-round. The facility is operated under Transport Canada standards and serves as a vital link for cargo, medical evacuations, and passenger travel across Canada's Far North.

Terminals

The airport has a small, single terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes of a remote Arctic community.
