We at Sable Aviation feel privileged to provide year-round fixed wing aircraft support to Sable Island, a delicate crescent of sand 300 km south-east of Halifax, NS. Since there is no airstrip on the island, our BN-2A Britten Norman Islander aircraft lands on the sandy expanse of the island's south beach.

Since Sable Island is a National Park Reserve, Parks Canada has sole control over all flights to the island, including scheduling. Tourist season runs from June through October.

To avoid interfering with station operations, fixed wing visitor flights are scheduled for weekends, with Saturday being the primary visitation day and Sunday being the backup. Guests must be available to travel on both days.

All of our flights to Sable Island are sold on a per seat basis, with 6-8 seats available on any given flight (within a certain weight limit as defined by the mnufacturer of the aircraft). For details on cost and how to book, see our FAQ page.
