Air Service to Baker Lake

About Baker Lake

Located in Nunavut, Baker Lake is a remote inland community situated along the shores of Baker Lake in the Kivalliq region, approximately 1,600 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg. 

With a population of roughly 2,200 residents, Baker Lake is one of the few inland communities in Nunavut. It is predominantly Inuit, with a strong cultural identity rooted in Inuit language, traditions, and a deep connection to the land. The community also plays an important role in the region's mining sector, supporting nearby resource development projects. 

Like many Arctic communities, Baker Lake relies on air service year-round, with seasonal sealift providing additional access for bulk goods during the summer months.
