## Description

Inuvik's Mike Zubko Airport (YEV) combines several pieces of hard infrastructure: a Canadian North cargo warehouse, Air North freight handling, a Canada Border Services Agency post as an airport of entry, and a Royal Canadian Air Force forward operating location. Together they make YEV the principal air gateway for the Beaufort Delta and the western Arctic. Canadian North's Boeing 737s carry both passengers and freight, supplying the Mackenzie Delta communities with food, equipment and mail. The year-round Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway and the Dempster Highway let forwarders interline air cargo with road transport. Volumes stay modest by southern standards, yet for this region the air link is indispensable rather than optional.
