Stephenville International Airport (YJT), boasts one of the best landing strips in Atlantic Canada, and certainly the best in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The American government studied the entire Atlantic region to build the largest American Airforce base located outside of the U.S.A.. After careful consideration, it chose Stephenville as its location. This was due to its fog-free conditions, with overall weather conditions rated as the best in Atlantic Canada, not to mention aviation qualities that surpassed all other Atlantic regions.
Today Stephenville International Airport (YJT) is a favorite choice for overseas refueling, as it is the official alternate to Gander International Airport.
Domestic service has made a comeback at the airport in the past year, due to a re-structuring of the overall airport operations and it's board has been working non-stop to bring more and more airlines and services to the area. The demand of this area is still very much underserved and we hope to see a major player come on board soon at YJT.
The airport serves a catchment population of approximately 70,000 people, from Corner Brook to as far south as Port-aux-Basques on the southwest coast of Newfoundland Labrador. Presently, two airlines serve the airport: Sunwing, and Provincial Airlines.
