Today, St. John's boasts three runways with modernized infrastructure including updated control towers over the years—most recently replaced by a combined tower and communications building in 1976.
Commercial flights began as early as 1942 with Trans-Canada Air Lines operations preceding its official civilian status years later. By 1981, several airlines had ticket offices at St John’s including Eastern Provincial Airways and Air Canada among others.
St John's remains Newfoundland's primary hub for commercial aviation, ranking second-busiest by passenger numbers behind Halifax within Atlantic Canada while holding the distinction of being North America's easternmost airport.
Passenger traffic peaked pre-pandemic at around 1.5 million annually but saw drastic reductions during COVID-19 lockdowns; however recovery efforts are underway with nearly matching figures recorded last year alongside WestJet offering international routes from Dublin to Paris CDG among others.
The terminal has evolved significantly since originating as a modest wooden structure during wartime shortages eventually giving way to larger developments accommodating growing demands throughout decades including expansions into more aesthetic designs featuring materials reflective of community pride such as Bell Island stone paired harmoniously alongside stainless steel glass facades following redevelopment projects undertaken circa early millennium onwardly up until present day plans potentially allowing handling capacities reaching upwards towards projected benchmarks exceeding past records perhaps even surpassing them altogether eventually if current trends continue sustaining positive momentum moving forward collectively speaking across both domestic international markets
