Umiujaq Airport guide

Umiujaq Airport (IATA: YUD, ICAO: CYMU) serves the Inuit village of Umiujaq in Nunavik, northern Quebec, on the eastern shore of Hudson Bay. The village had 541 residents at the 2021 census. No road links it to southern Quebec, so the airport is the community's year-round connection to the outside. The airport sits about 2 km east of the village, at an elevation of 77 m (251 ft).

The airport has one gravel runway, 02/20, 1,073 m (3,521 ft) long and 30 m wide. The Kativik Regional Government has operated it since 1 September 1996. It belongs to Quebec's transport ministry. It handles passenger and freight traffic, and on-site parking is free.

Air Inuit is the scheduled carrier. It flies to the Nunavik communities of Akulivik, Inukjuak, Ivujivik, Kuujjuarapik, Puvirnituq and Salluit, to Sanikiluaq in Nunavut, and to Montreal-Trudeau. The airport recorded 2,128 aircraft movements in 2010. Passenger figures are not published.
