Gateway to northern Quebec's subarctic wilderness and Nunavik.

Location

Kuujjuaq, Canada

Kuujjuaq Airport (IATA: YVP, ICAO: CYVP) is the main regional airport serving Kuujjuaq, the administrative centre of Nunavik in northern Quebec, Canada. Situated above the 58th parallel, it is a critical transportation hub for the remote communities of the region, as there are no road connections linking Kuujjuaq to the southern Quebec road network. The airport handles scheduled passenger services as well as cargo operations, playing a vital logistical role in supplying communities across Nunavik. It is operated by Transport Canada and serves as a hub for onward flights to smaller Nunavik villages. Given its subarctic location, the airport must contend with harsh winter conditions, permafrost, and extreme cold, all of which shape its infrastructure and operations. It remains one of the busiest airports in Nunavik by passenger volume.

Terminals

The airport has a single terminal building suited to the relatively modest passenger volumes of a remote subarctic community.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options are limited, with taxi services being the primary means of traveling between the airport and the village of Kuujjuaq, as no public bus service operates.
