Airport contact
Kangiqsujuaq is a fly-in-only Inuit community of roughly 800 people in Nunavik on the Hudson Strait coast near Cape Smith and the Raglan Mine; Air Inuit provides the sole scheduled air link (with connections to Kangirsuk, Kuujjuaq, Quaqtaq and Salluit), and the gravel runway is subject to the same maintenance and dust concerns Air Inuit has raised across Nunavik's regional airstrips.
