Montréal is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, whose 11,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport | YUL | 13 km (8 mi) | 11,000 ft | 118 ft |
| Montréal / Saint-Hubert Metropolitan Airport (regional) | YHU | 13 km (8 mi) | 7,840 ft | 90 ft |
| Montreal Mirabel International Airport (regional) | YMX | 40 km (25 mi) | 12,000 ft | 270 ft |
| Plattsburgh International Airport (regional) | PBG | 96 km (60 mi) | 11,759 ft | 234 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,000 ft, YUL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 118 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
