YRP
Ottawa/Carp Airport (YRP) Transfers
Private chauffeur transfers at Carp, Ottawa.
Carp is the general aviation field west of the capital, and it is the one on this list best set up for an aircraft that needs turbine fuel. Its own published services list a state-of-the-art AVGAS fuelling station running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and jet fuel available daily between 0800 and 1600 local time, with call-out charges outside those hours.
A working field rather than a terminal, in other words. Maintenance is provided on site by Sutton Aviation and Canadian Aviation Maintenance, avionics by Ottawa Avionics, and nitrogen service through Sutton Aviation. There are T-hangars, grass tie-downs and apron parking, flying school training, and sightseeing flights through Ottawa Aviation Adventures.
Meet & Greet
Your chauffeur meets you inside the FBO or private terminal lounge your aircraft is handled at.
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 Carp
Your chauffeur meets you at the operator you are arriving with, and the car is timed to the aircraft rather than to a schedule. When you book, give us the operator, the tail number, and the arrival time you have been given, and dispatch confirms exactly where the car waits.
The jet-fuel hours are worth knowing when you plan the car. Arrivals outside 0800 to 1600 local are entirely possible, but they involve a call-out on the fuel side, and crews sometimes shift a departure slot because of it. Telling us who you are flying with lets dispatch follow that rather than guess.
Sixty minutes of complimentary waiting from the aircraft's arrival apply here as at any airport pickup, and meet and greet applies as well: the chauffeur comes into the FBO or private terminal lounge where your aircraft is handled and meets you there. It is the same charged line item as at a commercial terminal. Only the room changes.
The included waiting period and the per-minute rate after it are set out in clause 4 of our Terms.

Questions about Carp
Can a business jet use Carp?
Jet fuel is available on the field daily between 0800 and 1600 local, with call-out charges outside those hours, so the answer is yes with a caveat about timing. Your operator will know the rest; what we need is the arrival time they give you.
What do I give you when booking a pickup here?
The operator you are flying with, the tail number and the expected arrival time. There is no public arrivals feed at a field like this, so that is what dispatch works from in place of an airline flight number.
How far is Carp from the middle of Ottawa?
About 30 km straight-line from the airport's official coordinates to the city centre, which makes it the furthest of the Ottawa-area fields we serve. Rockcliffe is about 6 km and Macdonald-Cartier about 12 km.
Is it bookable online?
Yes. Carp is in Ontario, so a trip starting or ending there qualifies under the current online booking rule and is quoted as a fixed Canadian-dollar fare.
