## Description

The code YAY belongs to St. Anthony Airport, opened in 1987 on the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland, about 50 km northwest of the town it serves. A single carrier, PAL Airlines, links it to St. John's (YYT) and across the Strait of Belle Isle to Blanc-Sablon (YBX). There is no dedicated freight operation: cargo moves as belly load on passenger flights, with medevac and supply runs to remote coastal communities taking priority. Forwarders route scheduled air freight for the peninsula via Deer Lake (YDF) and St. John's (YYT). Nearby L'Anse aux Meadows, the Norse landing site, is a UNESCO World Heritage place.
