## Description

Around fourteen road-less Inuit communities depend on Kuujjuaq for their year-round supply, which is why this Nunavik airport functions as a genuine cargo lifeline rather than a passenger stop. Kuujjuaq is Air Inuit's main base, and in 2024 the carrier put a converted Boeing 737-800 freighter — roughly 23 tonnes of payload — onto the Montreal–Kuujjuaq run, feeding smaller aircraft that fan out to the coastal villages. A dedicated cargo warehouse, also opened in 2024, adds refrigeration and freezer capacity for fresh produce, frozen food and medical goods. Traffic is domestic, so shipments move without border formalities. There is no road or rail link: northern Quebec's supply rests on this air bridge and on summer sealift through Ungava Bay. For forwarders, Kuujjuaq is best treated as the consolidation and distribution point for the entire Nunavik region.
