Flight time is about 20 to 25 minutes on the 85 km sector along the Hudson Bay coast. Air Inuit operates the route with Twin Otter aircraft. This is one of the shortest scheduled air routes in northern Quebec. Block time is around 30 minutes.
Air Inuit is the sole operator, running the route as part of its Nunavik network. Puvirnituq serves as a sub-regional hub on the Hudson Bay coast, with connections to other communities and to Kuujjuaq. Frequency to Akulivik is a few times per week.
Puvirnituq has about 1,900 residents and is one of Nunavik's largest communities. It sits at the mouth of the Puvirnituq River on Hudson Bay. The village has a hospital (Inuulitsivik Health Centre) that serves several surrounding communities. Puvirnituq is known for its Inuit artists' cooperative, one of the oldest in the region, producing carvings and prints.
Air Inuit flies from Puvirnituq to Kuujjuaq with connections onward to Montreal. The total trip takes most of a day. Some routings go south through Inukjuak and Kuujjuarapik. There is no direct Puvirnituq-Montreal service. All travel to southern Quebec requires at least one stop.
All Nunavik airports have gravel runways. Weather delays and cancellations are common, especially October through May. Baggage limits are strict on Twin Otter flights, typically 20 to 30 kg. Non-beneficiary fares are high due to the cost of operating in the region. There are no hotels in most villages, so accommodation must be arranged in advance through the community. Temperatures drop below minus 40 in winter.

No roads connect any Nunavik communities. Air Inuit's network of short hops between villages is the only year-round transportation.

Both airports have gravel runways and basic terminal facilities. Fares for Inuit beneficiaries are subsidized. Weather is a constant factor, with winter cancellations requiring flexible travel plans across the entire Nunavik network.
