Airport contact
Postville is a road-inaccessible Inuit (Nunatsiavut) community of about 188 residents (2021 census) reachable only by air year-round and by seasonal coastal ferry (Goose Bay-Nain run via Labrador Marine, ice-free June-November); the gravel strip is a fly-in-only lifeline. Air Borealis (PAL Airlines/Innu Development/Nunatsiavut Group of Companies) operates it as part of its coastal Labrador Twin Otter network linking Postville with Goose Bay, Hopedale, Makkovik, Nain, Natuashish and Rigolet. Pax.annual above is an unofficial estimate (no government/StatCan figure is published for this micro-strip) based on community size and scheduled Twin Otter frequency — treat as approximate, not a sourced total.
