About This Airport

Roughly 1,100 miles from New York and 1,021 from Ottawa, Gander was positioned as the North Atlantic's midpoint and has served transatlantic aviation since 1938. The airport runs 24 hours with no curfews, no noise abatement and no congestion, ideal for quick-turn technical stops and crew-rest layovers. Allied Aviation Service handles fast turnarounds plus unscheduled diversions – mechanical, medical or security-related. On the freight side, YQX offers complete handling for all aircraft types, bonded warehouse space and dangerous-goods processing. A particular strength is perishable export: Newfoundland and Labrador seafood moves through refrigerated units for time-sensitive shipments. Trans-Canada Highway access lets trucks reach the terminal, complementing freighter charters and transloads. For forwarders, Gander is a dependable reference point for Atlantic crossings, diversions and seafood exports.
