Reliable
We continue to invest in our emergency response resources and capabilities. As the most easterly airport in North America and being located within 10 minutes from the leading health care centre in the Province, it is not uncommon for international flights to stop in St. John’s with a medical emergency. These airlines can be assured we have the trained professional staff and the infrastructure to manage such events.
Accessible
St. John’s International Airport is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and welcomes new airlines and aircraft to our facilities. Located less than 10 km from the city’s downtown core and adjacent to the highway, the Airport can be considered a downtown airport without any noise restrictions or curfews. Although the airport has experienced a significant increase in the number of airlines flying into St. John’s, there are no slot controls. Customs can also be made available 24 hours a day.
