Kimmirut Airport
Kimmirut Airport is located at Kimmirut, Nunavut, Canada, and is operated by the Government of Nunavut. Unlike most airports in Nunavut, it uses magnetic headings for the runway rather than true headings.
At the Kimmirut airstrip is the second shortest in Nunavut. Formerly Arctic Bay Airport at was the shortest, but in 2010 the runway was extended to.
The Grise Fiord airstrip is just slightly shorter than Kimmirut at. The length of the runway and challenging terrain at both Kimmirut and Grise Fiord limit the type of aircraft that can service those communities. Currently, both are served by airlines operating Twin Otter aircraft.
