Saint-Pierre Pointe-Blanche Airport guide

Saint-Pierre Pointe-Blanche Airport (ICAO: LFVP) is the main airport of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, the French overseas collectivity off the south coast of Newfoundland. It sits about 1.9 km south of the town of Saint-Pierre, on the island of the same name.

The airport opened in August 1999 and replaced an older airfield, opened in 1965, that lay on the south side of the inner harbour and had no room to expand. The new site cost 370 million French francs. The complex has a two-story passenger terminal of 2,200 square metres, a snow-plow maintenance building, a hangar and workshop, and a civil aviation building with the control tower.

A single asphalt runway, 08/26, is 1,800 metres long. Air Saint-Pierre flies year-round to Halifax, Miquelon, Montreal and St. John's, with seasonal flights to the Magdalen Islands and, since July 2018, to Paris Charles de Gaulle. The runway length allows ATR turboprops to operate the Canadian routes.
