Gander

Gander has served as a transatlantic aviation hub in central Newfoundland since the late 1930s. Developed around Gander International Airport, the town became an important refuelling and staging point for aircraft crossing the North Atlantic, particularly during the Second World War. It lies near Gander Lake and the Gander River, within Newfoundland’s forested interior rather than on the island’s dramatic coast. In September 2001, Gander received 38 diverted flights, an episode that inspired the musical Come From Away.
