Gatineau-Ottawa Executive Airport (YND) Transfers
Private chauffeur transfers at Gatineau-Ottawa Executive, Ottawa.
Gatineau-Ottawa Executive is the business aviation field for the National Capital Region, and it sits on the Québec side of the river. It is operated by the Corporation of the Gatineau-Ottawa Executive Airport, and the City of Gatineau describes it as being near the highways into Canada's capital, with quick access to major embassies and to government ministries and facilities. NAV CANADA provides a flight service station rather than a control tower.
The pitch the airport makes for itself is about time rather than size: easy access, minimal wait times and rental cars available quickly. That is the usual reason a delegation or an executive flight chooses it over the commercial airport across the river.

60 minutes of waiting
Complimentary on every airport pickup, measured from when your aircraft lands.
Timed to the aircraft
Booked against your operator and tail number rather than a published schedule.
Door-to-door
Direct to your destination, with no stops you did not ask for.
How pickup works at Gatineau-Ottawa Executive
Your chauffeur meets you at the operator or private terminal you are arriving at, timed to the aircraft's arrival. Give us the operator, the tail number and the arrival time when you book, and dispatch confirms where the car will be.
Sixty minutes of complimentary waiting from the aircraft's arrival apply here. Meet and greet applies too: at a business aviation field it means the chauffeur waits inside the FBO or private terminal lounge and meets you there, which is what somebody stepping off a private aircraft actually wants from it.
One thing to plan around: the airport is in Québec. Online booking needs one end of the trip to be in Ontario, so a car from here into Ottawa or anywhere else in Ontario books online in the normal way, while a trip from here to somewhere else in Québec - Montréal, say - is arranged by quote: call or request a quote, and the fare is fixed in Canadian dollars before you travel. The booking form will tell you which of the two you are in before you get as far as paying.
The included waiting period and the per-minute rate after it are set out in clause 4 of our Terms.

Questions about Gatineau-Ottawa Executive
Can I book a car from Gatineau-Ottawa Executive online?
If the other end of the trip is in Ontario, yes - a run into Ottawa is the usual case and books online normally. If neither end is in Ontario - a run on to Montréal, for example - the trip is arranged by quote instead, by phone or the quote request, at a fixed Canadian-dollar fare. The form checks that for you before payment.
Is this the right airport for a government or embassy visit?
It is the one positioned for it. The City of Gatineau points to its access to the highways into the capital and to embassies and government ministries, which is why delegations use it. We can take you straight across the river into Ottawa from it.
How does the pickup work without a flight number?
It works off the aircraft instead. Give us the operator and tail number plus the arrival time you have been given, and dispatch has the car there for it. Sixty minutes of waiting from arrival are included.
Is Meet and Greet included here?
It is offered here, and charged as its own line on the fare. At a business aviation field it means the chauffeur is inside the FBO or private terminal lounge waiting for you, not holding a sign in a public hall.
