Hall Beach Airport guide

Hall Beach Airport, also listed as Sanirajak Airport, serves the hamlet of Sanirajak on the Melville Peninsula in Nunavut. It carries the ICAO code CYUX and sits 9 metres (30 feet) above sea level. The Government of Nunavut operates it.

The airfield has one gravel runway, 12/30, which measures 1,649 metres (5,410 feet). That length suits turboprop passenger and cargo aircraft. The airport lies a short distance south of the hamlet, which had 891 residents at the 2021 census. A North Warning System radar station, Hall Beach (FOX MAIN), stands nearby, and Canadian Helicopters supports that network from the airfield.

Canadian North links Sanirajak with Igloolik and Iqaluit, and the community depends on these flights for passengers, mail and freight. Statistics Canada recorded 2,796 aircraft movements here in 2010. The airport has no website of its own, so travellers check schedules and baggage rules with the airline.
