Gander International Airport (CYQX)
Identifier CYQX, IATA YQX, as tagged on OpenStreetMap (way/239321190). Operator tag: Gander International Airport Authority.
Whether it is open today, in what condition, with fuel or lights, is the Canada Flight Supplement's and the NOTAMs' to say — never this page's. The flying guide links NAV CANADA's products; nothing here substitutes for the briefing.

Tags are what a mapper last wrote, not a status. "Not tagged" is the common case on this island — a pilot who has landed here can fix it in five minutes on the open map, and this page changes at the next build.
Getting to it by road
This is one of the two doors. Every measured drive from its terminal is on its airport page →
Times are OSRM's over the open map on 2026-09-06, unverified by a drive of our own — unlike the measured routes on this site, which were.
Drive it with your own nav:Organic Maps →OsmAnd →Apple →Google →Waze →The first two run on OpenStreetMap and don't track you — the same map this site is built from.
Arriving without a car
Every distance and time on this page is a drive. If you are not renting, here is what Gander International Airport Authority lists at this door — operators and numbers, not fares: a tariff is theirs to change, so it is linked and not copied.
No rideshare here.
No rideshare service is named anywhere on the Airport Authority's transport page. That is an absence read off the page on 2026-09-15, not an assumption — but it is the Authority's page, not a licensing register, so it says what the airport lists rather than what is legal.
Taxi
Busy Bee Cabs, which the Airport Authority says runs a 24-hour service available curbside in the Domestic Arrivals area.
Coach
DRL Coachlines runs a scheduled coach service across Newfoundland. The Airport Authority says a wheelchair-accessible bus needs 48 hours' notice.
Limousine
Nobel Limousines, listed by the Airport Authority.
Avis, Budget, National and Enterprise are listed at the airport. The Authority says accessible vehicles with wheelchair accommodation or hand controls are limited and need 48 hours' notice.
Gander International Airport Authority, read 2026-09-15 — the authority on what operates at this kerb, and the only place a current fare or timetable should come from.

Great-circle arithmetic from the mapped coordinates — a straight line, not a route, and not a promise either end is open. The full matrix is on the flying guide.
Flown, on the record
No pilot has sent a log that touches this strip. A GPS log from the panel or the tablet, both ends within 3 km of a mapped aerodrome, is the proof — how to send it.
Help build this page
- Tag it. Surface, length, lighting and fuel are OpenStreetMap tags on the runway and the aerodrome; most strips here carry none.
- Send the log of a leg flown into or out of it, and a photo of the approach or the apron under the licence sentence on the contribute page.
- Host a community mesh node. An open, volunteer-run, licence-free radio mesh across the island's strips exists the day the first strip hosts a node — the ask, and what a mesh is not. Beside, never instead of, VHF, the ELT and NAV CANADA's products; it does nothing for a flight.
