Gateway to Anticosti Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Location
Port-Menier, Canada
Port-Menier Airport (IATA: YPN, ICAO: CYPN) serves Port-Menier, the sole community on Anticosti Island in Quebec, Canada. It is the primary air link connecting this remote island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the mainland, supporting residents, hunters, and ecotourism visitors. The airport operates as a small regional facility managed to handle light scheduled and charter traffic. Its runway accommodates turboprop and small jet aircraft suited for the low passenger volumes typical of remote Quebec communities. Anticosti Island is known for its vast wilderness, deer hunting, fossils, and recently recognized UNESCO World Heritage geological significance. The airport plays a critical role in supplying the island and enabling access to its natural resources.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to the modest passenger volumes of a remote island community.
Getting to & from
Ground transport on Anticosti Island is extremely limited, with private vehicles and local arrangements being the primary means of reaching the village from the airport.
Airlines here
Air Canada Express (operated by PAL Airlines) provides scheduled service connecting Port-Menier to Sept-Îles and other regional Quebec points.
