## Description

Air Inuit makes Puvirnituq (YPX) the hub of Nunavik's Hudson coast, flying daily to Kuujjuaq and on toward Montreal and feeding smaller communities up and down the shore. The settlement, an Inuit community in far northern Quebec, has no road access at all: everything arrives by air or by the brief summer sealift. Here freight is not a sideline but basic provisioning — food, mail, medicine and general cargo move on combi flights, while fuel and bulk come by ship once a year. The gravel runway has no integrator terminal or international customs; southern connections run through Montreal (YUL). For forwarders, YPX is an Arctic resupply node where the goods quite literally come off the wing.
