## Description

Arviat, in Nunavut's Kivalliq region, has no road connection, which makes its airport (IATA: YEK, ICAO: CYEK) the only year-round reliable link for groceries, mail and spare parts. Calm Air serves the government-operated field with passenger and freight services through its hub-and-spoke network from Rankin Inlet and Winnipeg; there is no dedicated cargo terminal or customs post, so goods travel as belly or combi loads. Heavy and bulky items arrive with the annual sealift, while air freight for the Kivalliq region is consolidated at Winnipeg (YWG).
