Puvirnituq Airport guide

Puvirnituq Airport (IATA: YPX, ICAO: CYPX) serves the Inuit village of Puvirnituq, on the Povungnituk River near its mouth on Hudson Bay in Nunavik, northern Quebec. The airstrip sits about 1.9 km north of the village at an elevation of 25 m. No road connects Puvirnituq to the rest of Quebec, so the airport is the community's main link to the outside. The village had 2,129 residents at the 2021 census.

The airport has one gravel runway, 01/19, about 1,920 m long. Quebec's Ministry of Transport owns the airport. The Kativik Regional Government operates it.

Puvirnituq is the aviation hub of the Hudson Bay coast. Air Inuit flies scheduled services to the neighbouring communities of Akulivik, Ivujivik, Salluit, Inukjuak, Umiujaq and Kuujjuarapik. It also links the airport to Kuujjuaq, La Grande Rivière and Montreal. The airport recorded 5,802 aircraft movements in 2010. Passenger figures are not published. Air Inuit is the only airline serving the airport's single domestic terminal.
