Frequently asked questions
Is customs available at CYFC?
Fredericton International Airport operates as an airport of entry, with customs available onsite. This designation allows arriving international flights to clear customs directly at CYFC rather than diverting to another field. Dispatchers planning cross-border trips into New Brunswick should still confirm current procedural requirements before arrival, since AOE status covers facility designation rather than specific clearance mechanics. The airport's customs role supports its function as a border-adjacent hub for business aviation traffic in the region.

Runway 09/27 is the longest surface at Fredericton International Airport, measuring 8,005 feet with a width of 200 feet.
