Gaspé Airport, (IATA: YGP, ICAO: CYGP), is located 3.5 nautical miles (6.5 km) west of Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. The airport is non-towered, but has a mandatory frequency linked remotely to Quebec flight services. There are instrument approaches available for low weather.
[edit] History
Transport Canada began construction of the airport in 1965, and handed control to the municipality in 1967 (while continuing to subsidize the airport). The airport added a terminal building in 1972, and a hangar and Flight Service Station (FSS) in 1974 — the hangar was destroyed by a fire in 1978 and rebuilt in 1979. In 1983, Transport Canada installed a navigation aid (the airport has both a VOR and localizer), and formally handed full control of the airport over to the municipality in 1998 as a result of the National Airports Policy.
