## Description

Six nautical miles from the Inuit community of Coral Harbour, on Southampton Island in Nunavut's Kivalliq Region, this government-run airport is reached by a single 1,526-metre gravel runway. Calm Air's ATR-42 and ATR-72 turboprops carry passengers and freight in the same cabin to Rankin Inlet and onward to Winnipeg, while Canadian North also serves the eastern Arctic. Bulk and heavy cargo instead arrives once a year by sealift across Hudson Bay during the ice-free season. YZS therefore functions as a community supply line rather than a commercial freight terminal. For forwarders it is the delivery endpoint of a cold-chain and consolidated-cargo network staged in Winnipeg (YWG).
