Gateway to Quebec's remote Magdalen Islands archipelago.

Location
Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Canada
Îles-de-la-Madeleine Airport (IATA: YGR, ICAO: CYGR) serves the Magdalen Islands, a remote archipelago in the Gulf of St. Lawrence belonging to the province of Quebec, Canada. The airport is the primary means of year-round air access to the islands, which are otherwise reachable only by ferry or private boat. The airport handles scheduled passenger services connecting the islands to Montreal and other Quebec destinations, making it a vital transportation link for residents and tourists alike. It is operated under the authority of local management and is classified as a certified aerodrome by Transport Canada. The surrounding region is known for its distinctive landscape of red cliffs, sand dunes, and lagoons, and the airport plays a critical economic role in supporting the islands' fishing industry, tourism, and healthcare access for the roughly 13,000 permanent residents.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building handling both arriving and departing passengers.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport is limited, with taxi services and rental cars available to reach Cap-aux-Meules and other island communities.
