About Clyde River Airport
Clyde River Airport is the only scheduled passenger airport serving Clyde River (Kanngiqtugaapik), a small Inuit hamlet on the northeast coast of Baffin Island in Nunavut. Operated by the Government of Nunavut, the airport supports essential domestic air links for the community and the surrounding region.
Located about 4 km (2.5 mi) northeast of the hamlet centre, the airport has a single gravel runway (02/20) and one small passenger terminal. Scheduled flights operated by Canadian North connect Clyde River with Iqaluit and Pond Inlet.
The terminal is compact, with basic passenger amenities including a waiting area and telephone. Because of the remote Arctic setting, air travel is the principal year-round link between Clyde River and other Nunavut communities.
Ground transport between the airport and the hamlet is a short local drive, with pick-ups, taxis and community vehicles used for onward travel.
