Saint Pierre and Miquelon - Transportation

Transportation

For many years, there has been no direct air link between the islands and mainland France. The new airport of Saint-Pierre, opened in 1999, was intended to overcome this problem, but the situation remained unchanged as of 2007. Flights from and to Saint-Pierre all pass through Canada. Air Saint-Pierre’s ATR 42 aircraft flies from the Canadian airports of St John's, Sydney, Halifax and Montreal all year round.

The islands are connected with the town of Fortune, Newfoundland, by two ferries which provide regular service all year. The ferries do not carry vehicles.
