Remote Arctic gateway serving Nunavut's Coral Harbour community.

Location
Coral Harbour, Canada
Coral Harbour Airport (IATA: YZS, ICAO: CYZS) is a small regional airport located in Coral Harbour (Salliq), a hamlet in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut, Canada. It serves as the primary air link for this remote community situated on Southampton Island in Hudson Bay. The airport is operated by Transport Canada and provides essential air services to residents, government workers, and supplies for the hamlet. Given the lack of road connections to southern Canada, air travel is the principal means of access to Coral Harbour. The airport handles scheduled passenger flights and cargo operations, playing a critical role in the community's supply chain, particularly for perishable goods and medical transport.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to the modest passenger volumes of a remote Arctic community.
Getting to & from
