Frequently asked questions
Is customs clearance available at CYQM?
Yes, Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport is a designated Airport of Entry with customs service on site. Dispatchers can plan international arrivals directly into CYQM without routing through another port of entry first. The AOE designation covers general clearance procedures for arriving aircraft and crew. Operators should still confirm current hours and any advance notice requirements with the customs office before filing, since AOE status does not by itself specify staffing schedules. This makes CYQM a practical option for cross-border flights into the Maritimes region.
How long is the main runway at Moncton (CYQM)?
The primary runway at Moncton, designated 06/24, measures 10,001 feet in length and 200 feet in width, with an asphalt surface. This is one of the longer paved runways in the region, giving operators substantial margin for heavier aircraft and a range of weather conditions. A second runway, 11/29, provides 8,000 feet of paved length at the same 200-foot width. Both runways are asphalt, giving CYQM two full-length paved options for planning around wind and runway availability.
What does business aviation traffic look like at CYQM?
CYQM recorded 2,612 business aviation operations against a total of 14,787 annual operations in 2025, according to FAA TFMSC data tracking cross-border traffic. Since Moncton is a Canadian airport, these figures reflect the cross-border traffic segment visible to the FAA rather than the airport's total activity. Monthly bizav counts peak in June at 284 operations and again in October at 243, with the lowest counts in November at 147. This gives dispatchers a sense of relative seasonal loading rather than absolute traffic volume.
Does traffic at Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport vary by season?
Yes, business aviation traffic at Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport is concentrated in the warmer months, with counts rising from a February low of 150 operations to a June peak of 284. The data does not indicate a specific cause for this pattern. Dispatchers planning trips into the region during late spring through fall should expect comparatively higher activity levels than in the winter months. This seasonal shape is worth factoring into scheduling and slot expectations for CYQM during peak periods.
What winter weather should crews expect when flying into CYQM?
Winter conditions at Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport include substantial cold and snow exposure based on estimated climate normals from the source weather agency. January averages 30.3 days below 32°F and 4.6 days with at least one inch of snow, with similar patterns in February and December. Days above 90°F are effectively absent from November through April. Crews operating into CYQM during winter months should plan for sustained sub-freezing conditions and recurring snow accumulation days rather than isolated events.
