Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport, located at Ulukhaktok, Northwest Territories, Canada (IATA: YHI, ICAO: CYHI) was fully opened in December 1978 with the start of the Community Aerodrome Radio Station (CARS).

The airport is 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) north of the town and a road was built to allow access from the community, which also included a short bridge to span the Okpilik River.

Besides limiting the size of the aircraft, Douglas DC-3 or De Havilland Canada Dash 7, able to land it also was a potentially dangerous situation.

In the late winter, early spring a bulldozer would be used to create a runway on the ice that could be used by larger aircraft such as the C-130 Hercules.

During the initial planning stages community consultation was held and a major concern was expressed over the runway headings.

The funnelling effect of the hills may cause the airport to be in a blizzard while the community is enjoying clear weather or vice versa.

There was a slight curve in it that was quickly removed after an aircraft caught its wing on the snow bank that resulted in Holman Airport's first accident (no injuries).
