Gatineau-Ottawa Executive Airport (French: Aéroport Exécutif Gatineau-Ottawa or Ottawa/Gatineau Airport) (IATA: YND, ICAO: CYND) is an international airport serving Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, and its metropolitan area known as the National Capital Region.

The airport is equipped with Canada Customs facilities for aircraft coming from outside Canada, car rental counters, and restaurant services. It has a single, 6,000 ft × 150 ft (1,829 m × 46 m) asphalt runway oriented east–west. Since January 2017, the airport's Quebec City route has been serviced by Air Liaison.
