Chesterfield Inlet Airport (IATA: YCS, ICAO: CYCS) is located 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) northwest of Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut, Canada, and is operated by the government of Nunavut.

The old terminal building was constructed more than 40 years ago[3] and was replaced by a new terminal building that has a larger waiting area, new luggage area and wheelchair accessible.[4] Cost is split nearly evenly between Government of Nunavut and Government of Canada through the National Trade Corridors Fund. The new terminal opened on April 16, 2025.[5]
