PUMP UP YOUR VOLUME.
Newfoundland and Labrador represents a significant opportunity for transatlantic cargo carriers wishing to "top-up" flights or find seasonal charter opportunities.
Newfoundland and Labrador's economy is buoyant and growing, driven by seafood production, a surging offshore oil sector, growing manufacturing and the acceleration of exports.
FLYING FISH, FLYING FRESH,
DRIVING PROFIT.
Newfoundland and Labrador accounts for over a quarter of Canada's total seafood production. There is an expectant, growing market for air cargo service from YQX to Europe and Asia. Exports are trending upward due to significant investment in aquaculture and growth in European fresh markets driven by reduced fleet capacity in the EU. Newfoundland seafood processors are enjoying greater market penetration in overseas markets, and YQX is a central hub for a $1 billion annual perishables market.

There are also import/export opportunities for composite aircraft structural parts, electronic assemblies, wines, fresh berries and fashion goods, particularly leather products and furs.

ADD REVENUE ALONG THE WAY.
Gander's strategic position along the Great Circle route means minimal deviation. Fuel and landing fees are among the most competitive in the Americas. Gander operates 24/7 with no noise abatement rules and a runway prepared to accommodate all aircraft. A who's-who of cargo carriers already graces our runway on a technical stop basis. In fact, YQX handles over 2,500 wide-bodied aircraft a year, with an accent on the heavylift juggernauts. Outbound cargo from YQX offers an opportunity to generate revenue while taking advantage of a low-cost technical stop environment.

YOUR BOTTOM LINE IS OUR TOP PRIORITY.
The Gander International Airport Authority has an aggressive, entrepreneurial approach to service development and is prepared to work to support service development as a liaison and export facilitator.
