About Mary River Aerodrome
Mary River Aerodrome is a remote industrial aerodrome serving the Mary River iron ore mine on northern Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada. It is located adjacent to the Mary River site, about 176 km southwest of Pond Inlet and roughly 936 km northwest of Iqaluit.
The aerodrome is operated in connection with Baffinland Iron Mines and primarily supports charter flights carrying mine workers and cargo. It has a single gravel runway designated 12/30 and sits at an elevation of about 180 m (589 ft).
There are no scheduled public air services at the aerodrome, and access is generally limited to mine-related traffic. Charter flights connect the site with communities such as Iqaluit, Pond Inlet, and other points across Canada's High Arctic.
Because Mary River is a remote Arctic mining site rather than a public airport, passenger facilities are limited. Travelers should confirm flight, ground transport, and site access arrangements with their operator before departure.
