Arviat

Arviat Airport (IATA: YEK) opened in the 1970s and features a single small terminal serving the Hudson Bay coastal community of Arviat, Nunavut. This compact regional airport is a vital lifeline for passengers, freight and medevac flights rather than a large transit hub. Ground access is a short drive or walk from the town center; taxis and community shuttle services are limited, so plan transfers in advance. Regular scheduled services are operated by regional carriers such as Calm Air, Canadian North and Air Inuit, with charters available. Due to its remote location fares tend to be higher than southern Canadian airports, though occasional competitive regional deals appear on search.
