Airport contact
Sole scheduled carrier is Canadian North, linking Clyde River to Iqaluit and Pond Inlet on ATR-42 turboprops serving this Inuit hamlet (Kangiqtugaapik) on Patricia Bay, Baffin Island; the gravel strip is the community's lifeline to the outside world, as no roads connect Clyde River to any other community. Passenger figure is an estimate (flight-frequency based) rather than a published StatCan total, as small Nunavut airports are not itemized in readily available public tables. A US Coast Guard weather station operated nearby at Cape Christian during and after WWII, part of the broader Cold War-era Arctic weather/surveillance network predating the DEW Line proper.
