Airport contact
Makkovik is a fly-in/coastal-boat-only Inuit community (pop. 365, 2021 census) on Labrador's north coast with no road access; the gravel airstrip is its sole year-round link to Happy Valley-Goose Bay and neighbouring communities. Air Borealis (a joint venture of the Nunatsiavut Group of Companies, Innu Development Limited Partnership, and PAL Airlines) operates scheduled DHC-6 Twin Otter service as part of its subsidized north-coast Labrador network linking Postville, Hopedale, Natuashish, Nain, and Rigolet to Goose Bay. No official annual passenger total is publicly published for this airstrip, as it falls below the threshold tracked in Statistics Canada's national air-passenger-traffic statistics (which cover only NAV CANADA-monitored, towered airports).
