Taxi services are readily available at the airport. Cabs from local companies are typically waiting outside the Arrivals area of the terminal building to meet incoming flights. It is a primary method for getting into the town of Gander.
Several major car rental companies have counters located directly within the Air Terminal Building in the Arrivals area. Options include Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and National. Pre-booking is highly recommended, especially during peak tourist season.
There is no scheduled public bus or shuttle service that directly connects Gander International Airport to the town of Gander or other communities. Travelers must rely on taxis or rental cars for transportation from the airport.
A former transatlantic crossroads before the jet era, Gander was one of the airports that housed stranded travelers when American airspace was closed due to the events of September 11, 2001; Gander International received 7000 passengers from thirty-eight planes. The incredible hospitality of the Newfoundlanders inspired the musical Come from Away, which ran on Broadway from 2017 to 2022, and continues to spark interest from innumerable "Come-from-Aways" in the people and culture of the island.
Our USAirways flight from Dublin to Philadelphia was diverted to Gander due to mechanical problems. The staff at Gander was extremely friendly and welcoming. They added a second internet connection and kept the café open. Thank you for your hospitality.
