This airport is a popular stop for pilots ferrying turboprop aircraft between Canada and Europe.

The runway is listed as gravel-surfaced, but is in fact a mixture of very firmly packed fine sand and gravel that has a surface texture similar to asphalt.

An automatic weather observation service (AWOS) operates when Qikiqtarjuaq Radio is unattended.

The fuel supplier at the airport can assist with all ground handling arrangements, including transportation, parking, de-icing, and accommodations.

Qikiqtarjuaq is the destination of the eponymous episode of Cabin Pressure, a BBC radio sit-com set in a one-aircraft airline.
