Iqaluit International Airport

YFB: regional context and official resources

Iqaluit International Airport uses YFB and CYFB. Iqaluit is Nunavut's capital on southern Baffin Island, and the territorial government describes its airport as a connection point for Nunavut communities and southern Canada. That regional role does not identify which services are operating on a particular day.

Use the airport coordinates to locate Iqaluit in the Canadian Arctic, then inspect only the aircraft observations actually present. Receiver and route-metadata coverage can leave long gaps, particularly when looking beyond an airport's immediate area. An empty table means no matching positions were available; it cannot establish a closure, a cancellation or an absence of flights to a community.

Nunavut's official airport page describes the airport and its operator. Use it and the airline for passenger information instead of deriving travel arrangements from nearby map markers. The listed elevation and timezone are catalog references, while a track's timestamp belongs to a separate observation. Neither substitutes for current airport notices or a confirmed itinerary.

The airport codes, coordinates, elevation and timezone below come from the local airport reference catalog. They are not a current operating bulletin. This editorial context and its source references were reviewed on 2026-10-12; that date is not the timestamp of any aircraft position.

Using the Iqaluit International Airport airport profile

Iqaluit International Airport serves Iqaluit, CA, at reference coordinates 63.7564, -68.5558. Its canonical aviation identifier on PocketWorld is ICAO code CYFB| IATA: YFB. The listed elevation and timezone come from the airport reference catalog and help place the airfield on the globe; they are not a substitute for an aeronautical information publication or a current airport notice.

Geographically, Iqaluit International Airport is recorded in Iqaluit, Nunavut, CA, north of the equator and west of Greenwich. At 110 feet in the reference catalog, it is grouped here as a moderate-elevation airport; its timezone identifier is America/Iqaluit. These stable attributes help distinguish the airport from places with similar names or shared metropolitan codes.

The flight section reports only aircraft found in PocketWorld's latest available public ADS-B snapshot with enough origin or destination metadata to associate them with YFB. Receiver coverage, provider availability, transponder settings and metadata quality vary by region and aircraft. A flight can therefore be operating normally without appearing here, and a callsign or airport pair can be missing, delayed or stale.

Position data is not an airline schedule

An observed aircraft position can help explain where a flight was recently seen, together with altitude, speed and route fields when those values are present. It does not by itself confirm a gate, terminal, boarding time, delay, diversion or cancellation. Arrivals and departures shown here are matches from public telemetry, not a complete airport operations board.
