Gateway to Anticosti Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Location
Port-Menier, Canada
Port-Menier Airport (IATA: YPN, ICAO: CYPN) serves Port-Menier, the only permanent settlement on Anticosti Island in Quebec, Canada. The airport provides the primary air link connecting this remote island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the mainland, supporting residents, hunters, and tourists who visit the island's vast wildlife reserves. Anticosti Island is renowned for its white-tailed deer population and wilderness, and the airport plays a critical role in sustaining the local community and seasonal tourism. The facility is a small regional airport managed to serve the modest but consistent demand from the island's population and visitors. The airport is classified as a certified aerodrome in Canada's national airport system and is operated under Transport Canada regulations. Air service to the island is limited and primarily provided by regional carriers connecting to Quebec City and other nearby destinations.
Terminals
The airport features a small, single terminal facility suited to the low passenger volumes typical of a remote island community.
Getting to & from
Ground transportation options on Anticosti Island are extremely limited, with road access within the island available but no public transit system to Port-Menier.
