History
Deer Lake Airport dates back to 1953. Construction began in 1953, and by the autumn of 1955 a 4,000 ft (1,200 m) gravel strip was in operation. In 1959, the strip was extended to 5,000 ft (1,500 m) and paved in 1963. Eastern Provincial Airways began jet service using Boeing 737-200 aircraft in July 1969. Construction of a new terminal started in 1990 and was completed the following year. Deer Lake Regional Airport's 8,005 ft (2,440 m) runway is capable of handling daily service of Beechcraft 1900, Bombardier Dash 8, Bombardier CRJ200, Airbus A319, Airbus A321, and Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft.
In 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the airport suffered notable cuts to its airline routes.
Facilities
The terminal is equipped with a restaurant, gift shop and other amenities. A large long-term parking lot is located on-site.
The airport is equipped with seven aircraft gates which are able to stand aircraft from the Beech 1900 to the Airbus widebody aircraft. Throughout the year the airport is equipped with deicing facilities.
