A former transatlantic crossroads before the jet era, Gander was one of the airports that housed stranded travelers when American airspace was closed due to the events of September 11, 2001; Gander International received 7000 passengers from thirty-eight planes. The incredible hospitality of the Newfoundlanders inspired the musical Come from Away, which ran on Broadway from 2017 to 2022, and continues to spark interest from innumerable "Come-from-Aways" in the people and culture of the island.
Stephenville International airport now offers regular scheduled flights with Porter Airlines out of Toronto, Billy Bishop airport YTZ and Ottawa YOW and Halifax YHZ.
Also Sunwing airlines Flys non-stop 737 service from Toronto Pearson YYZ.
PAL Airlines offers direct daily flights to St. John's YYT.
Air Saint-Pierre offers seasonal charter flights non stop from Saint Pierre et Miquelon, France. FSP
Do not leave your airplane unattended at this place. Very bad for vandalism after hours. Sad but true and the town of winterland or the rcmp don't seem to care.
Our USAirways flight from Dublin to Philadelphia was diverted to Gander due to mechanical problems. The staff at Gander was extremely friendly and welcoming. They added a second internet connection and kept the café open. Thank you for your hospitality.
Needs an bigger Airport ( Airstrip) on Fogo Island.
Make it bigger and have a regular flights everyday so people can choose how they want to travel. That would be awesome service...........Lots of tourist would love that. The people on Fogo Island would love that to.
Best Airport in Atlantic Canada, for runway, and weather conditions. Just wish AC would return or Porter Airlines would consider serving the region with YJT as it's airport of choice. Politics has moved 90% of Aviation to Deer Lake Regional Airport. A government funded airport while Stephenville sits with no funding what so ever.
A gaggle of CH-135s and one or two CH-136s camped near here in autumn 1974 and flew into the airport often, but much flying to the west over magnificent terrain. Very wet month!
