Miquelon Airport guide

Miquelon Airport (IATA: MQC, ICAO: LFVM) serves Miquelon-Langlade, the northern island commune of the French territory of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, off the south coast of Newfoundland. It sits beside the village of Miquelon on the narrow isthmus-side lowland of the island.

The airport has one asphalt runway, 12/30, about 1,000 m long. That is roughly half the length of the runway at Saint-Pierre, so it handles small turboprop aircraft only. The passenger building holds the check-in counters and connects to the control tower and the fire station.

Air Saint-Pierre operates the only scheduled service, a short link to Saint-Pierre. Flights to Canada and mainland France leave from Saint-Pierre, not Miquelon, so most travellers from outside the archipelago change there. France's civil aviation authority has noted that the route's future is not assured and that the site is exposed to rising water, and a plan to move the village to higher ground east of the runway has begun. The aerodrome is administered by the territorial collectivity and the local transport directorate (DTAM).
