## Description

Set on the Hudson Bay shore where the Great Whale River meets the sea, Kuujjuarapik is one of Nunavik's southernmost Inuit communities and has no road connection to the rest of Quebec. Air Inuit serves YGW with passenger and general freight feeding in from Montreal and the regional hub at Kuujjuaq (YVP). The airport has no dedicated cargo terminal or freighter operation — it is a delivery endpoint rather than a transfer point. Forwarders should consolidate shipments at Montreal or Kuujjuaq and treat YGW as the final northern leg, supplemented by summer sealift.
