Scheduled air service connects Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) in Nova Scotia, Canada, with Saint-Pierre Airport (FSP) in the French overseas collectivity of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. This relatively short hop across the Cabot Strait provides a vital link between the North American mainland and this small archipelago located south of Newfoundland.
The air link offers crucial passenger and cargo transport, facilitating tourism, business connections, and essential services. Historically, seafaring vessels provided the primary mode of transport. However, consistent and reliable air travel has significantly improved accessibility, reducing travel time and supporting economic development for the islands. This connection fosters cultural exchange and strengthens ties between Canada and the French collectivity.
