Gander International Airport, once a vital transatlantic hub during the golden age of aviation, has experienced a significant decline in recent decades. The airport's strategic location in Newfoundland, Canada, made it a popular refueling stop for passenger and cargo flights between North America and Europe. However, the advent of more fuel-efficient aircraft and the rise of direct flights between major cities led to a decrease in the number of stopovers at Gander. As a result, the airport has scaled back its operations, with many airlines discontinuing service and the number of passengers and cargo passing through the airport dwindling. Gander International now primarily serves as a regional airport, connecting Newfoundland to other parts of Canada and offering limited international service.
