The airport at Stephenville on the Canadian east coast has several uses. It is a regional commercial airport with flights within the Canadian territories and a charter flight base for work related passengers. It is also a main refueling location for military and civilian aircraft.
As a commercial air base it has flights from St. Johns in Newfoundland and charter services from St Pierre. This location is listed as St Pierre France, but should not be mixed up with the European France. This one is just 40 minutes flying time away. These are special event flights so there is something of a separate schedule according to the time of year.
The flight from St Johns is provided by Provincial Airlines using their twin prop regional jets. The airport terminal has been regularly upgraded and arriving passengers will find two major companies offering car rental in Stephenville Airport. The car rental counters are just by the doorways for arrivals and departures.
There is a single café serving coffee and snacks, with an ATM prominently placed on the central area just by the security point. To help with air passengers who are not familiar with Stephenville the airport has Ambassadors who are all local volunteers. They can assist with most enquiries from the location of the various airport facilities to giving information on the town ands the various accommodation options.
Stephenville is an attractive town which is seen as the springboard for trips to Newfoundland. The airport is on the outskirts of the town and just three minutes driving time from the centre so having collected the car rental in Stephenville Airport, visitors can be settled their hotel within the hour.
