Arctic Bay Airport (IATA: YAB[3], ICAO: CYAB) is an airport located 3 nautical miles (5.6 km; 3.5 mi) southeast of Arctic Bay, Nunavut, Canada. Until January 12, 2010 Nanisivik Airport, about 25 km (16 mi) from Arctic Bay, was used for scheduled flights. On January 13, 2010, First Air transferred all air services to Arctic Bay's newly expanded airport with service to Iqaluit and Resolute Bay. Niore Iqalukjuak, mayor of Arctic Bay, said that the move would save community members $40 for the one way taxi ride. At the same time the Government of Nunavut said that the move would save $600,000 a year because of not having to keep the all-weather road clear.[4]

[de] Flughafen Arctic Bay
Der Flughafen Arctic Bay (IATA-Code: YAB; ICAO: CYAB),[1] befindet sich 5,6 km südöstlich von Arctic Bay, Nunavut, Kanada. Bis zum 12. Januar 2010 wurde der etwa 25 km entfernte Flughafen Nanisivik für den regulären Betrieb genutzt. Zum 13. Januar 2010 zog die First Air (inzwischen Canadian North) an den gerade erweiterten Flughafen Arctic Bay um, und führt von Arctic Bay Flüge nach Iqaluit und Resolute Bay durch. Der Bürgermeister von Arctic Bay, Niore Iqalukjuak, sagte, dass mit dem Umzug des Flugbetriebs pro Flug 40 Dollar für die Taxifahrt gespart werden können. Des Weiteren spart die Regierung des Territorium Nunavuts jährlich etwa 600.000 Dollar, da man die Straße nicht mehr ganzjährig unterhalten muss.- [en] Arctic Bay Airport
