This airport has four runways and it has also been the home to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) since 1941. While the RCAF has their own space to work with, they still help to keep this airfield hopping with activity.

The Gander International Airport has two active runways. Their biggest runway, which measures 10,200 x 200 feet, is only used in the daytime from December 1 through April 30. They also have a runway that is dedicated to being an emergency landing runway for just the space shuttle.

Gander also competes with Bangor International Airport, which is located in Bangor, Maine whenever it comes to transatlantic flights. While Gander has a slight edge over Bangor in the number of transatlantic flights that it has each day, Bangor has become increasingly active because of troops going to and coming home from the Iraq War.

Unfortunately, the Gander International Airport faces a grim future unless the federal government provides funding to cover some of its costs. This is because more than 50% of the aircraft that currently operate from this air field are military and do not pay any landing fees. Thankfully, domestic passenger traffic has increased by more than 7% in recent years and weekly cargo flights from Iceland are also expanding.
