About Kuujjuaq Airport
Kuujjuaq Airport is the main air gateway to the Nunavik region of northern Quebec, serving the village of Kuujjuaq and surrounding communities. Kuujjuaq is the administrative centre of Nunavik, and the airport plays an essential role in regional travel, freight and emergency medical evacuations.
The airport has served the area since the mid-20th century, and its current passenger terminal opened in 2008 as part of a modernisation project. It operates a single terminal building that combines check-in, security, arrivals and basic passenger facilities in one compact space.
Located about 1.5 km from the village, the airport is a short drive from Kuujjuaq. Taxis, private transfers and rental vehicles provide onward transport, while scheduled regional and domestic flights connect Kuujjuaq with other Nunavik communities and southern Canadian cities.
