| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport | YOW | 4 km (2 mi) | 10,000 ft | 374 ft |
| Ottawa / Rockcliffe Airport (regional) | YRO | 15 km (9 mi) | 3,300 ft | 188 ft |

| Massena International Airport Richards Field (regional) | MSS | 82 km (51 mi) | 5,601 ft | 215 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,000 ft, YOW can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 374 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
