Location
Stephenville, Canada
Stephenville Airport (IATA: YJT, ICAO: CYJT) is a regional airport serving Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, located on the southwestern coast of the island near the Bay of St. George. It provides essential air connectivity for residents of the region and supports local industry and emergency services. The airport was originally developed as a major United States Air Force base known as Ernest Harmon Air Force Base during and after World War II, making it one of the largest airfields in eastern North America at its peak. After the base closed in 1966, the facility was converted to civilian use and has operated as a regional airport since. Today, the airport supports scheduled passenger service, charter operations, and cargo flights. Its long runways, a legacy of its military origins, give it the physical infrastructure capable of handling large aircraft, which has attracted interest for transatlantic and cargo operations over the years.
Terminals
The airport has a modest single terminal building suited to regional passenger volumes.
