Gatineau Executive Airport lies ten miles northeast of the Canadian capital Ottawa. This small regional airport mostly handles private jets. It has a small modern terminal and outside parking. Gatineau Airport stands on flat ground a mile to the east of the city of Gatineau and just north of the Ottawa River in the province of Quebec. The river forms the border between Quebec and Ontario at this point. Travellers who hire a car at Gatineau Airport find it is easy to drive to either city thanks to the Autoroute 50 motorway that passes by the entrance to the airport.
Visitors who hire a car at Gatineau Executive Airport can quickly reach Gatineau itself. You'll find a city that is joined to the urban sprawl of Ottawa but has retained its own identity, thanks to the river and state boundary between them. Gatineau's main attraction is the riverside Canadian Museum of History, the country's most visited museum. Exhibits in this striking modern building range from the world's biggest collection of totem poles to an iMax cinema screen. Across the river, Ottawa's attractions include Canada's National Gallery and Parliament. Natural attractions in the area include the Rideau waterfalls, Meech Lake and Petrie Island.
