About Pond Inlet Airport
Pond Inlet Airport is the main air access point for Pond Inlet, also called Mittimatalik, a hamlet on the northern coast of Baffin Island in Nunavut. Operated by the Government of Nunavut, it provides essential domestic connections that link the community with Iqaluit and other northern destinations.
Located just south of the community centre, the airport has a single gravel runway and a compact terminal that handles scheduled and charter flights. The small-scale setup supports residents, government and business travel, and a growing number of visitors heading into the Arctic.
The airport sits within a couple of kilometres of town, so reaching accommodations and local services normally takes only a few minutes by taxi or pre-arranged transfer. This close location makes arrivals and departures straightforward despite the remote setting.
Pond Inlet is a well-known gateway to Sirmilik National Park, Bylot Island and the surrounding Arctic landscape, and the airport plays a practical role in supporting tourism, community travel and northern logistics.
