Moving Through the Terminal

Curbside Assistance

Wheelchair assistance from the Departures curbside to the check-in counters and from baggage collection to the Arrivals curbside is available upon request. The Curbside Assistance Program is an on-demand service; however, we encourage you to book with us 48 hours in advance of your departure date to allow time for your requests to be fulfilled. If you need assistance, kindly reach out to the security staff at (506) 856-5429 or via email at security@cyqm.ca.

For those picking up or dropping off passengers at the airport, designated areas are situated at the Arrival and Departure entrances in front of the terminal building. It’s important to note that these zones are intended for immediate pick-up or drop-off purposes only, and vehicles should not be left unattended.

Airline Assistance

For assistance from check-in onward, it is important to contact the airline you are traveling with beforehand to let them know that you require special assistance. A ticket agent will be able to provide information on the use of wheelchairs, passenger escort services, transportation within the Airport, and support with checking in, boarding and arriving at your destination.

Mezzanine Level Post-Security

Access to the mezzanine area post-security is possible by taking the elevator or stairs near Gate 4. On the mezzanine level, you will find additional seating with wheelchair accessibility, washrooms, and the Bistro Altitude.

Accessibility Features at YQM

Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program

The Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport (YQM) is a proud supporter of the Sunflower!  The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a simple tool that allows individuals to voluntarily indicate that they have a disability or condition that may not be immediately apparent. This discreet sign helps communicate that they may need a helping hand, understanding, or more time in shops, at work, on transport, or in public spaces. The program is supported by over 240 airports in more than 30 countries and 17 airlines worldwide.

Sunflower lanyards are available at our Information Desk or can be mailed to you if requested at least 7-14 days before your travel date by contacting at 506-856-5444 x.6 (Monday to Friday, excluding holidays) or via email at admin@cyqm.ca. The team at YQM is trained to recognize the Sunflower and will ask how they can assist you.

Additional Information and Resources

The Canadian Transportation Agency works to ensure that federally regulated (air, rail, marine and interprovincial bus) transportation services and facilities in Canada are accessible to persons with disabilities. The Agency provides publications and checklists to help you plan travel that meets accessibility requirements. If you run into problems while in transit and cannot resolve them directly with your transportation service provider, the Agency can help you resolve a wide range of transportation disputes. The Agency’s Accessible Transportation website includes information on the carriage of mobility aids on planes, trains and ferries, FAQs on accessible transportation, an email newsletter for persons with disabilities, a guide to accessible travel entitled, Take Charge of Your Travel: A Guide for Persons with Disabilities, and a list of accessible transportation links.
