The largest and busiest airport in Prince Edward Island (PEI) is Charlottetown Airport (YYG), located approximately 6 kilometers north of downtown Charlottetown. In 2026, YYG serves as the primary international gateway to the province, handling the vast majority of its commercial passenger and cargo traffic. The airport has seen significant growth over the last decade, recently completing a multi-phase terminal expansion to accommodate increased seasonal demand from tourists visiting the island's famous red-sand beaches and golf courses. It is served primarily by Air Canada, WestJet, and Flair Airlines, offering direct connections to major Canadian hubs like Toronto (YYZ), Montreal (YUL), and Ottawa (YOW). While there are smaller regional airfields in PEI used for private aviation and agricultural purposes (such as Summerside Airport/CYSU), Charlottetown Airport is the only facility equipped to handle the large commercial jets required for the island's thriving 2026 tourism and business sectors.
