Frequently asked questions
Is customs available at CYGP for international arrivals?
Michel-Pouliot Gaspé Airport is a designated Airport of Entry under Canadian customs, listed as AOE / CAN. Customs service is onsite, so crews do not need to route through a separate clearance airport before landing at CYGP. Operators should still confirm current procedural requirements with Canadian border authorities ahead of arrival, since AOE status governs where clearance occurs rather than the hours or staffing available. Flight planning should account for standard Canadian customs notification practices even with onsite service confirmed.
What runway length is available at CYGP?
Gaspé Airport, identified as CYGP, has a single paved runway, 10/28, measuring 5,488 feet long and 150 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This matches the airport's published maximum paved runway length, so no other landing surface offers additional distance. The 150-foot width provides margin for a range of business aviation aircraft. Operators should still check current NOTAMs, since a single-runway field has no crosswind runway alternative on the airfield itself.
Does CYGP see much business aviation traffic, and when is it busiest?
CYGP recorded 500 business aviation operations in 2025 out of 2,838 total annual operations, based on FAA TFMSC cross-border traffic data. Monthly volumes show a clear seasonal pattern, with July the peak month at 83 operations and January the lowest at 13. Traffic builds steadily from spring through midsummer before tapering into fall and winter. Dispatchers planning summer trips into Gaspé should expect comparatively higher activity levels than in the winter months.
How cold does it get at Michel-Pouliot Gaspé Airport in winter?
Michel-Pouliot Gaspé Airport experiences sustained cold in the winter months, with January averaging 30.7 days below freezing and a maximum temperature near 21.9°F. February and December show similarly high freezing-day counts, near 27.8 and 29.7 respectively. Snow accumulation of at least one inch occurs on roughly four days per month across December through March. These figures come from climate normals rather than airport-reported observations, so crews should pair them with current weather sources before winter operations.
What is the nearest airport to CYGP for alternate planning?
The closest listed neighboring airport to CYGP is Du Rocher-Percé (Pabok) Airport, located about 23.70 nautical miles away on a bearing of 188 degrees, placing it roughly south of Gaspé. This distance is useful context for alternate planning in the region, though suitability as an actual alternate depends on that airport's own runway length, surface, and services. Crews operating into Michel-Pouliot Gaspé Airport should verify current conditions and capabilities at any alternate independently rather than relying on proximity alone.
