The Final Mile — Done Right

Cape Breton's gateway
for private aviation

Port Hawkesbury Airport — officially the Allan J. MacEachen Airport (IATA: YPS, ICAO: CYPD) — exists because Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs exist. Over three quarters of the aircraft that land here carry guests bound for those two courses. The Celtic Air FBO was built around that clientele: executive lounge, full ground handling, fuel, and the kind of service that understands who's on board.

Premier Car Service completes the experience from wheels-down to hotel check-in. We coordinate directly with Celtic Air, monitor your flight in real time, and arrive on property ahead of your aircraft. Whether you prefer to meet us at the FBO door or on the ramp, we accommodate.

Inverness is approximately 84 kilometres north — a straightforward drive through Cape Breton's western shore. Allow just over an hour and arrive ready to play.

Route Details

Port Hawkesbury
to Cabot Links & Cliffs

The drive from the Celtic Air FBO to Cabot Links is one of the most pleasant in the Maritimes. Highway 19 — the Ceilidh Trail — follows the Cape Breton coast north through Judique and Port Hood before arriving in Inverness. The landscape opens to sea views and rolling hills well before you arrive.

Your driver will also accommodate stops along the way — grocery provisions, a quick fuel stop, or a brief roadside moment — at your direction.

Return transfers are equally straightforward. We coordinate departure timing around your final round or checkout, and ensure you arrive at Celtic Air with time for a proper FBO departure.

Common Questions

Answers for
arriving guests

Can you meet me on the tarmac at Celtic Air?
Yes. Tarmac meet service is available at Port Hawkesbury Airport, coordinated with the Celtic Air team. Select this option when booking or note it in your reservation instructions. Your driver will be positioned at the FBO ramp when your aircraft arrives.
What if my flight is delayed or arrives early?
We track your flight in real time from the moment it departs. Your driver adjusts automatically — arriving when your aircraft does, not when your original ETA suggested. No calls required on your end.
How much golf kit can you carry?
Full-size tour bags and hard travel cases need the Full-Size SUV or Escalade. The sedan can take one soft-sided golf bag under 50″ alongside light luggage. Our SUV comfortably carries up to four bags plus full travel luggage. For larger groups or extensive kit, multiple vehicles can be arranged at booking.
Do you handle return transfers from Cabot to YPS?
Absolutely. Return transfers are booked the same way — with your departure time, and we coordinate around it. Many guests book both legs at the same time for simplicity.
Is Port Hawkesbury Airport closer to Cabot than Halifax?
Significantly. Halifax Stanfield Airport (YHZ) is approximately 325 km from Cabot Links — about 3.5 hours. Port Hawkesbury Airport (YPS) is about 84 km — approximately 1 hour. For private aviation guests, YPS is the clear choice for Cabot.
