Airline and destination

Air Saint-Pierre Saint-Pierre

There are no direct flights from mainland France. Connecting flights (with Air Canada, Air France, Air Transat or Corsair International) to mainland France required a transfer via Saint-Pierre en route to Montréal–Trudeau airport, or to catch a seasonal flight (operated by ASL Airlines France) once weekly from Saint-Pierre to Paris. Seasonal flight was restored in 2019 and 2023 (suspended due to COVID-19 in 2021 and 2022).[2]

The airport's runways are capable of handling turboprop or small jet aircraft only.
