Military Aircraft
Although St. John’s International Airport is one of the largest airports in Canada based on civilian traffic, the airport’s strong history and connection with the military is still prevalent today. As the last stop in North America on the way overseas and the first stop after crossing the Atlantic, St. John’s International Airport is strategically positioned for fuel stops and crew rests.
In 2009, we accommodated over 1,400 military aircraft landings, providing an economic stimulus of over $30 million to the region. With the construction of a new Central De-icing Facility, additional parking has been made available for larger military aircraft that previously could not be accommodated. Such aircraft include C-17s and C-5s.
The general aviation area of the airport is serviced by three FBOs (Fixed Based Operators). These fuel providers provide superior customer service in taking care of all the needs of their clients, including arranging for transportation, booking hotels and providing in-flight meals. These three FBOs include the following:
