## Description

Donaldson Airport (IATA: YAU) at Kattiniq in Quebec's Nunavik region is an industrial airstrip serving the Raglan mining operation, with charter flights bringing in personnel and materials. There is no public scheduled service, no third-party cargo terminal, no customs post and no road link to the southern Canadian network; heavy goods reach the area by ship through Deception Bay during the ice-free months. For general air freight in Nunavik, Kuujjuaq (YVP) and Puvirnituq (YPX) are the regional points of call, with Montreal-Trudeau (YUL) the national entry point offering customs clearance.
