Message from Lora Pope

Gander International Airport (YQX) in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, is known as the "Crossroads of the World." Originally opened in 1938, it became a key hub for transatlantic flights, serving as a refueling stop for many airlines until the 1960s. Today, Gander remains an important diversion point for transatlantic flights due to its long runways. Notably, during the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, Gander played a significant role in hosting thousands of stranded passengers and crew. The airport’s exhibits highlights stories of transatlantic triumphs and celebrity encounters, offering a glimpse into the town’s rich history.
