The nearest commercial airports are in Igarka to the south and Norilsk to the west. Note that Dudinka (as well as Norilsk) are closed cities and have major travel restrictions for foreigners and Russian citizens alike; be sure to apply for a special permit far in advance and to have a darn good reason for the application.

A very limited road network connects Dudinka with Norilsk, including the airport, and Talnakh further to the east. Buses ply the route several times per day. There is a railroad connecting all three cities too but nowadays it's limited to freight traffic.

Dudinka has a large port and some of the cargo ships accept passangers. Just don't except it to be possible to get the permissions without extensive skills in navigating through russian bureaucracy.
