Michel-Pouliot Gaspé Airport or Gaspé (Michel-Pouliot) Airport (IATA: YGP, ICAO: CYGP) is located 3.5 nautical miles (6.5 km; 4.0 mi) west of Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. The airport is non-towered, but has a mandatory frequency linked remotely to the flight service station (FSS) located in Mont-Joli. There are instrument approaches available for poor weather.
Both the city and airport are located in a valley that is oriented in a more or less east–west direction, with the eastern end open to the ocean and the western end terminating in the highlands. For this reason, most small (i.e. unpressurized) aircraft prefer to approach from the east, thereby avoiding the steep descent over the high hills to the west.
History
Air Canada, the only airline that was operating scheduled passenger flights from the airport, indefinitely suspended its routes to Gaspé Airport in June 2020 due to the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.[5] Pascan Aviation and PAL Airlines started operation in mid 2021.
