Port-Menier Airport
Port-Menier Airport serves the small community of Port-Menier on Anticosti Island, a remote and sparsely populated island in Quebec's Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Identified by the IATA code YPN, this modest facility handles limited scheduled and charter traffic, functioning as a vital link for residents, hunters, and eco-tourists visiting the island's rugged wilderness. Anticosti is renowned for its deer population and dramatic coastline, and air access via YPN is often the most practical way to reach the island, since ferry service is infrequent.
