Îles-de-la-Madeleine Airport guide

Îles-de-la-Madeleine Airport (IATA: YGR, ICAO: CYGR) is the air gateway to the Magdalen Islands, an archipelago in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It sits on Havre-aux-Maisons Island, about 3.1 km northeast of the village of Havre-aux-Maisons. The airport stands at 11 m above sea level. Gulls are a frequent hazard on landing, and circling approaches to the south are prohibited because the land rises sharply there.

The airport has two asphalt runways: 07/25 at 1,369 m and 16/34 at 1,100 m. It is an airport of entry, with Canada Border Services Agency officers handling general aviation aircraft carrying no more than 15 passengers. Wikipedia lists Transport Canada and Aéropro as the operator.

Scheduled service links the islands with Montreal, Quebec City and Gaspé. Air Canada Express flies to Montreal seasonally, and Air Saint-Pierre flies seasonally to Saint-Pierre. PAL Airlines and Pascan Aviation serve the mainland. Statistics Canada counted 4,448 aircraft movements in 2010. Passenger figures are not published.
