The town’s proximity to the Strait of Belle Isle and its heritage as a Grenfell Mission hub give it a compelling depth rarely found in destinations this size.

Airport Key Facts

Flying Privately to St Anthony

Arriving by private jet charter to St Anthony transforms what would otherwise be a lengthy, multi-stop commercial journey into a seamless, single-leg experience. Anthony Municipal Airport (CYAY) offers ramp access and straightforward handling procedures, allowing passengers to move directly from aircraft to vehicle without the delays of busy hub airports. Private scheduling means you can align your arrival with tide conditions for iceberg viewing or expedition departures — critical in this seasonally dynamic region. The airport’s uncongested environment ensures swift turnarounds and genuine flexibility that commercial travel simply cannot match.

About Anthony Municipal Airport

Anthony Municipal Airport, operating under IATA code YAY and ICAO code CYAY, is a Transport Canada-certified aerodrome serving the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador. The airport has historically supported both scheduled regional services and charter operations, providing a vital lifeline to a community that is geographically isolated by road for much of the year. Its single paved runway of 1,524 m accommodates turboprop and light-to-midsize jet aircraft comfortably, making it well suited to the type of private charter operations that characterise travel to the region. Customs and border services can be coordinated through advance arrangement, as the airport does not maintain a permanently staffed CBSA post. The terminal is modest in scale but fully functional, and private passengers benefit from the absence of congestion typically found at larger Canadian airports.

Discover St Anthony

The UNESCO World Heritage site of L’Anse aux Meadows, just 45 minutes from town, is one of the world’s only authenticated Norse settlements — a truly rare historical encounter. Between June and August, icebergs calved from Greenland’s glaciers drift through the Strait of Belle Isle in spectacular numbers, making St Anthony the premier iceberg-viewing location in North America. The Grenfell Historic Properties, including the original Grenfell Mission buildings, add a layer of early 20th-century humanitarian history that resonates with culturally engaged visitors.

Private Jet Charter Tips for St Anthony

• Best time to visit — June to August offers the best combination of iceberg sightings, accessible roads, and long daylight hours for outdoor activities
• Transfer to city — the airport sits approximately 3 km from the town centre; pre-arranged private vehicle or SUV transfer is the standard option, with journey times of under 10 minutes
• Recommended aircraft — given the 1,524 m runway and typical route distances from eastern Canadian cities, turboprops and light jets are most appropriate
• Customs and immigration — CBSA presence is not permanently stationed at CYAY; private charter operators must coordinate customs clearance in advance, typically via a prior-notice process
