Airport contact
Taloyoak (formerly Spence Bay), the northernmost community on the Canadian mainland, sits on the Boothia Peninsula in the Kitikmeot region and is home to a predominantly Inuit (Netsilingmiut) population descended from land-based camps consolidated in the 1950s-60s; the gravel-strip airport, critical infrastructure air-linking an isolated Northwest Passage hamlet with no road access, is served by Canadian North to Cambridge Bay, Gjoa Haven, Kugaaruk and Yellowknife for passengers, mail, and freight.

Canadian North
Canadian North is the sole scheduled carrier serving Taloyoak, operating flights to Cambridge Bay, Gjoa Haven, Kugaaruk and Yellowknife. The Government of Nunavut's own Taloyoak Airport contact list names a fuel supplier, an airport maintainer and a CARS/weather contact, but no separate ground-handling company, so the carrier is presumed to self-handle its own passenger and ramp services at this remote Kitikmeot station (unconfirmed).
