Introduction
Charlo
Airport is located at Charlo, New Brunswick, Canada and serves
a large portion of northern New Brunswick and the south shore
of Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula. Charlo Airport Commission
Inc., the not-for-profit owner and operator of Charlo Airport,
is under the direction of a thirteen member volunteer Board
of Directors.
On
a larger scale, the Charlo Airport Commission views its role
as a key facilitator in linking the economic needs and growth
opportunities of northeastern New Brunswick with various business
activities of the air transportation community. The Commission
also believes its role as a catalyst in regional economic
development being complementary and concurrent to other regional
development programs.
This
is made possible through the Commission's direct involvement
with transportation, industry contacts and its ability to
work effectively as a service provider to both the marketplace
and transportation companies.
Charlo
Airport features an 1,800 meter (6000 foot) all weather runway
capable of accommodating flights ranging from small General
Aviation aircraft to corporate and mid sized jets. State-of-the-art
navigational aids and bilingual Nav Canada service enable
it to be used as an alternate airport by airlines serving
other locations on a regular basis during inclement weather
conditions.
Its
runway length and facilities will allow for further growth
in transportation and business development at Charlo Airport.

Background
Data
Because of our centralized location, flat terrain and freedom
from fog, CHARLO was considered to be a natural site for a
regional airport from its earliest days.
The
Airport is strategically located to serve communities in North
Eastern New Brunswick from Bathurst to Saint-Quentin and the
Quebec Coast from Matapedia to Bonaventure.
Charlo
Airport is also equipped with a Just Mobility Lift to serve
our passengers who require assistance in boarding and deplaning
the aircraft.
