Gatineau-Ottawa Executive Airport (French: Aéroport exécutif Gatineau-Ottawa) (IATA: YNDICAO: CYND) is located 1 NM (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) northeast of Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. It has a single, 6,000 ft × 150 ft (1,829 m × 46 m) asphalt runway oriented east-west.

The airport is equipped with Canada Customs facilities, using the CANPASS system,[3] for aircraft coming from outside Canada, a car rental counter and a restaurant. Various past attempts to provide regularly scheduled flights from Gatineau's airport had been unsuccessful. Most residents of Gatineau used the nearby Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, or travel to Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport in Montreal.

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

In 2010 and 2011, it was Canada's busiest airport without a control tower in terms of aircraft movements.[2]

The airport houses the Vintage Wings of Canada museum of historical aircraft.
