Charlottetown Airport

You walk off the plane onto the tarmac, then into the small one-level red brick building. Your luggage is off-loaded quickly as there can't be more than one plane arriving at a time. If you have to wait for your ride, there is a surprisingly good restaurant inside with pleasant servers. Don't sit on the dark dreary side. I discovered a nice glassed-in area on the other side of the wall! Ahhhh! That's better! If leaving PEI, there's a nice glassed-in area next to the general waiting room that you can enjoy in the Summer months. It was quite a pleasant discovery on my last flight off-island. Nicer than the general waiting room.

AC 631 April 30, 2025 management made decision to board manually due to ‘technical difficulties’ at 0506. The flight is scheduled to depart at 0515. Passengers have been in line waiting and ready since 0300. There are hundreds of people here all stressed out and WILL miss connecting flights from Toronto due to incompetent management and irresponsible decision making. Unreal and completely preventable.

Very tiny airport with 1 small departures concourse and waiting area and a couple small gates. Boarding/deplaning are done via airstairs/walkway bridges, you you'll need to walk onto the aprons. It's great for aviation enthusiasts but if you're a typical traveller you might not like it. Not a busy airport at all, when we flew out, we were the last departure of the day and it was only mid afternoon haha.

Charlottetown Airport is one of 122 airports I have visited around the world. There are two small gates and one snack shop that has a TV and serves alcohol. It is one of the smallest airports. There isn't much to do here if you come too early. The airport security was efficient.

Picked up two family members today. Super easy. You can wait in your car on the street anywhere near the Canada Post building and wait for a text that they are ready. Then pick them up at the curb.

Nice little airport. Easy to get in and out of, trickier in the winter as you have to go outside the building when boarding and deplaning, but they didn't good job keeping the snow and ice clear.

The airport is great and the staff are fantastic, but it has very less than a handful flights per day (2 Toronto, 1 Montreal and 1 to Ottawa year round). What makes this airport horrendous are flight times, i.e. yyg-yyz 5:20 am, but then you sit on a tarmac for 40 minutes waiting to take off because Pearson doesn't have enough air traffic controllers to handle the volume of flights, so you have a curfew for departing aircraft. And guess what, Charlottetown airport, is one of the lucky ones to have their planes being delayed due to staff shortage at Pearson. Bottom line expect delays at the YYG, but it's not the airports fault
