Since land, distance and climate affect travel
greatly, air transport is taking over, servicing all communities.
The modernization of airports has established Iqaluit in the east and
Rankin Inlet in the west as points of entry to Nunavut. An economy heavily
dependent on the marketing of traditional arts, hunting and fishing can
now count on a diversification of these activities, since the transportation
of equipment and the carriage of passengers will each have a comparable
share in the use of air services.
Accordingly, this map provides a good general idea of most of the routes
used by carriers, large and small, over the territory. Flights from outside
Nunavut are also shown: Winnipeg and Yellowknife in the west, and Ottawa
and Montreal in the east, are the main departure airports for travel to
and from Nunavut.
