| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport | YOW | 20 km (12 mi) | 10,000 ft | 374 ft |
| Ottawa / Gatineau Airport (regional) | YND | 9 km (6 mi) | 6,000 ft | 211 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.
