Air Saint-Pierre, a small airline based in the French territory of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, continues to operate its unique transatlantic route using a Boeing 737-700 wet-leased from ASL Airlines. This operation connects Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) with Saint Pierre, the capital of the archipelago situated near Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
The seasonal service was first introduced in 2018 and operates only during the summer months. In 2025, it will consist of 12 round-trip flights beginning on June 23 from Paris CDG and concluding on September 9 from Saint Pierre. The route covers a distance of just 2,315 nautical miles each way, which is shorter than many new transatlantic routes.
"More than 80 passenger airlines will operate across the Atlantic from the Americas this year," noted Air Saint-Pierre in its announcement. Despite being financially subsidized, fares remain high due to operational constraints such as Saint Pierre's short runway of just 5,906 feet. "Many middle seats are intentionally left free," explained Air Saint-Pierre regarding takeoff restrictions.
