Drone Rules for Kangirsuk Airport
Drone flights should remain outside the airport operating area due to regular passenger, cargo, and community support flights serving Kangirsuk.
Kangirsuk Airport (CYAS / YKG) is a public airport serving the Nunavik community of Kangirsuk. The airport is an essential transportation link for residents, cargo shipments, government services, and medical travel throughout the year.
Aircraft frequently operate at low altitude while arriving and departing from the gravel runway and may be affected by rapidly changing weather conditions common in northern Québec. Because aviation is a critical service for the community, maintaining a clear and predictable operating environment around the airport is important for flight safety.
Transport Canada advises drone operators to avoid any activity that could interfere with aircraft operating at or near an aerodrome. Drone operations should therefore remain clear of the runway environment, aircraft maneuvering areas, and approach or departure paths associated with the airport.
