Gateway to Nunavut's Kivalliq region in Canada's Arctic.

Location

Rankin Inlet, Canada

Rankin Inlet Airport (IATA: YRT, ICAO: CYRT) serves the community of Rankin Inlet (Kangiqliniq) in the Kivalliq region of Nunavut, Canada. It is a critical transportation hub for the surrounding remote communities, providing essential air links to Winnipeg and other northern settlements. The airport operates year-round and is managed under Transport Canada's remote northern airport network. Given the region's lack of road connections to southern Canada, air travel is the primary means of accessing Rankin Inlet and the surrounding area. The facility supports scheduled passenger services, cargo operations, medevac flights, and government aviation activities, all of which are vital to sustaining the community and surrounding region in one of Canada's most isolated areas.

Terminals

The airport has a single, modest terminal building suited to the community's size and remote northern setting.

Getting to & from
