MOVING THE WORLD'S MOVERS AND SHAKERS
Over the years, Gander International Airport has been proud to count some of the world's greatest people among its visitors. As a renowned refueling destination between North America and Europe, it's not unusual for famous faces from the entertainment, sporting, business and political world to stop by.

Late crooner Frank Sinatra. Golfing demi-god Tiger Woods. Chicken magnate Col. Sanders. Chick magnet Mel Gibson. Humphrey Bogart. Fidel Castro (who took some time to go tobogganing with local children.) Gretzky. Arafat. Streisand. Schwartzenegger. They come for the same reason: quick turns, exceptional service, and a cost-effective operating environment.

OUR CALLING CARD: STRATEGIC LOCATION. SPEED. SERVICE. SAVINGS.
It is no accident that Gander International Airport accommodates a quarter of the total transatlantic Corporate Jet market.

YQX's location on the Great Circle Route, quick turnaround times, professional service and competitive prices meet the demands of clients who are forever looking for means to save time and money. It is by no accident that pilots and flight planners refer fondly to YQX as "the fastest gas in the east."
STRETCH YOUR LEGS. DON'T STRETCH YOUR BUDGET.
Savvy business travelers know what they want-good prices, convenience, and expedient, skilled line service. Gander International Airport has been moving business for over a half-century, including some of the Fortune 500's most prestigious firms, the worlds' entertainment icons, and political leaders.

Why does almost a quarter of all North Atlantic corporate traffic tech stop at Gander? Price. Speed. Service. Gander's delivers quick turns, professional and courteous service, and competitive fuel prices.

Almost 40% of corporate jet movements at YQX are by aircraft with transatlantic range and city pairings that don't require a technical stop-witness to the compelling value offered by the four Fixed Based Operators at Gander International Airport. No other airport can offer less deviation from the Great Circle Routes, more balanced legs or more value than Gander.

Four FBOs offer renowned service delivery and rank, year-after-year, as among the best in the world in Professional Pilot Magazine's PRASE Survey, as voted by pilots themselves. In 2004, Avitat Edward Burry YQX and Irving Aviation YQX finished one-two for Canadian FBOs, and scored the highest of all FBOs surveyed in the world.

YQX handles over 30 corporate flights a day, ranging from Gulftreams, Bombarier Challengers and Cessna Citations to larger executive aircraft like B727s and DC-9s. In fact, Gander hosts over 20% of all transatlantic corporate aircraft movements, including those that do not require a fuel stop.
