Frequently asked questions
What is the customs process at CYSG?
Saint-Georges Airport operates as an AOE/15 customs facility, meaning customs clearance is available onsite but limited to fifteen persons per aircraft. Dispatchers planning a crossing with more passengers or crew than that threshold need to arrange alternate clearance. The AOE/15 designation applies to the airport generally rather than to a specific runway or ramp area. Crews should confirm passenger and crew counts against this limit before filing a customs notice for CYSG.
How long is the runway at Saint-Georges Airport?
Saint-Georges Airport has a single paved runway, 06/24, measuring 5,108 feet long and 75 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is also the longest paved surface listed for the airport, matching the field's max_paved_ft figure. There is no second runway in the data, so all fixed-wing traffic uses this one strip regardless of wind direction. The 75-foot width is adequate for typical business turboprops and light jets operating into CYSG.
How much business aviation traffic does CYSG see?
FAA TFMSC data recorded 690 business aviation operations at CYSG against a total of 858 operations in 2025, since Canada-bound trips are reported as cross-border traffic seen by the FAA rather than the airport's full activity. Monthly counts ranged from a low of 19 in January to a high of 79 in November. Traffic was not flat across the year, with April and November each posting figures above 75 operations. Dispatchers should treat this as a cross-border sample rather than a complete picture of all movements at Saint-Georges Airport.
Is there a notable seasonal pattern in traffic at CYSG?
Yes, traffic at CYSG shows a concentrated pattern rather than an even spread across the year. Business aviation operations climb from a January low of 19 to a November peak of 79, with April also standing out at 77 operations. The middle of the year, from June through September, holds at a steadier range in the low-to-mid fifties. This shape suggests operators should expect higher cross-border volumes in spring and late fall compared with midwinter.
What winter conditions should crews expect at Saint-Georges Airport?
Saint-Georges Airport sits at 893 feet elevation and experiences a cold winter climate typical of Quebec's Beauce region. December, January, and February each average around 30 days below freezing, essentially the entire month. Snow accumulation of at least one inch is recorded on roughly 2.8 to 3.6 days per month across December through February according to the source climate data. Maximum temperatures in this stretch stay in the low-to-mid 20s Fahrenheit, so crews should plan for de-icing and cold-soak considerations at CYSG through the winter months.
