About Port-Menier Airport

Overview

Port-Menier Airport serves the municipality of Port-Menier on the Anticosti Island in Quebec, Canada. Located at coordinates 49.836399, -64.288597, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for a remote region. The airport sits at an elevation of 167 feet above mean sea level, supporting regional connectivity for this isolated island community.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences maritime climate conditions typical of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence region, with significant seasonal weather variations. Winter months can present challenging conditions with potential low visibility and potential icing risks. The airport's position on Anticosti Island exposes it to maritime wind patterns that can create dynamic approach conditions.

Notable Features

Port-Menier Airport features a single runway (11/29) with an asphalt surface measuring 4,886 feet in length. The runway's orientation allows for approaches from multiple directions, which can be advantageous given the island's coastal geography. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios due to the airport's exposed maritime location.

Approach Considerations

Runway 11/29's substantial 4,886-foot length provides adequate space for most regional and medium-sized aircraft operations. Approach planning should consider prevailing maritime winds and potential rapidly changing weather conditions characteristic of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence region. Pilots are advised to obtain current local weather information prior to attempting an approach.
