The Arctic Bay Airport ( IATA code: YAB ; ICAO: CyaB ), is 5.6 km south-east of Arctic Bay , Nunavut , Canada . Nanisivik Airport, about 25 km away, was used for regular operations until January 12, 2010 . On January 13, 2010 First Air moved to the newly expanded Arctic Bay Airport, and operates flights from Arctic Bay to Iqaluit and Resolute Bay . The mayor of Arctic Bay, Niore Iqalukjuak , said that with the relocation of air operations per flight 40 US dollars for the taxi ride can be saved. In addition, the government of Nunavut Territory saves about $ 600,000 annually by eliminating the need to maintain the road year round.
Infrastructure
