Gatineau-Ottawa Executive Airport (French: Aéroport Exécutif Gatineau-Ottawa[2] or Ottawa/Gatineau Airport) is an international airport serving Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, and its metropolitan area known as the National Capital Region.

The airport is equipped with Canada Customs facilities[3] for aircraft coming from outside Canada, car rental counters, and restaurant services. It has a single, 6000x asphalt runway oriented east–west. Since January 2017, the airport's Quebec City route has been serviced by Air Liaison.[4] Most residents of Gatineau use the nearby Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport, or travel to Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.

The airport was inaugurated in 1978 and transferred to the City of Gatineau in 1991.

The airport houses the Vintage Wings of Canada, a nationwide non-for-profit organization that educates youth by use of vintage aircraft. The airport hosts an annual Aero Gatineau-Ottawa air show.
