Montréal-Trudeau (formerly known as Dorval), handles the scheduled passenger service for Montreal. Mirabel formerly also handled scheduled passenger service, but it has been discontinued and the airport is little used. Saint-Hubert is the major general aviation reliever for the city, though Trudeau also sees a lot of general aviation traffic.
Plattsburgh International Airport in Plattsburgh, New York, an hour away from Montreal, now serves as "Montreal's U.S. airport," providing a secondary airport for southern Quebec as well as neighboring northern New York.

The Aérodrome Saint-Louis, also called Aérodrome du Bois Gomin or Canadian Transcontinental Airways Airport, was the first airfield of the Quebec City area of Quebec, Canada. It was located in the suburb of Sainte-Foy.
It was established by the Canadian Transcontinental Airways (Compagnie aérienne transcontinentale) in 1929 in the fields between Cap-Rouge Road (now called Chemin Saint-Louis) and Gomin Road (Chemin Gomin), east of the Route de l'Église where the Place Laurier and Place Sainte-Foy shopping centers are currently located. It was used during winter to transport mail between Montreal and Rimouski.
It was closed in 1938, and in 1939 a new airfield was established in Quebec City; Aéroport de l'Ancienne Lorette, today known as Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport.

Cartierville Airport <s></s> was an airport in Saint-Laurent, Quebec, now a borough of Montreal. The airport was decommissioned and turned into the Bois-Franc neighbourhood. It was located next to Route 117, and the terminal buildings were accessed via Boul. Henri-Bourassa (formerly Rue Bois Franc), near the present Bois-Franc Train Station on the Montreal—Deux Montagnes Rail Line.
At one time, Canadair Plant One used the airfield to fly off completed CL-215, CL-415, Challenger bizjets and Canadair Regional Jets. The airport was closed to private and commercial passenger traffic in the 1980s when it became apparent that traffic from the nearby Dorval Airport was making it hazardous for chartered flights and flight schools to operate on the site. This left Bombardier as the sole user.

The Mascouche airport is the largest regional airport in the province of Quebec, in terms of air traffic. It is located close to the Legardeur regional hospital and could be used for medical evacuations in the future. The airport regroups 30 buildings, 15 related SMEs (including Cargair Inc.) and sustains 75 full-time jobs. A hundred small planes are stationed there year-round.
There has been talks of closing down (or to privatize) the airport during the last decade, for various reasons: the land lots are well-located and are zoned industrial, the city is unwilling to invest in the airport, and the airport couldn't get funds from the government to build a control tower and to expand the runway's length.
Montréal/Les Cèdres Airport, , is a general aviation aerodrome located approximately west of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The aerodrome is owned and operated by Laurentide Aviation.
Montreal-Mirabel International Airport, (or Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport) originally called Montreal International Airport and widely known simply as Mirabel is an airport located in Mirabel, Quebec, near Montreal and was opened October 4, 1975. It was the second largest airport in the world in terms of surface area ever envisioned, with a planned area of . The King Fahd International Airport, which was completed in 1999, surpassed its surface area.
In 1989, 81,000 of the were deeded back to their owners.<ref name="ADM History">History section of the Aéroports de Montréal site</ref> The predominant role of the airport is cargo flights but it is also home to MEDEVACs<ref name="medivac">It's liftoff for AirMédic ambulance</ref> and general aviation<ref name="flight1">Mirabel redécolle</ref><ref name="CFS"></ref> flights as well as being a manufacturing base for Bombardier Aerospace, where final assembly of regional jet (CRJ700 and CRJ900) aircraft is conducted.
It was intended to replace the existing Dorval Airport (now Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport) as the eastern air gateway to Canada; from 1975 to 1997, all international flights to/from Montreal were required to use Mirabel. However, Mirabel's distant location and lack of transport links, as well as Montreal's economic decline relative to Toronto, made it unpopular with airlines and travelers, so Dorval was not closed as originally planned. Eventually, Mirabel was relegated to the simple role of a cargo airport. Initially a source of pride, the airport eventually became an embarrassment widely regarded in Canada as being a boondoggle and a white elephant.End of Era Near in Montreal For White-Elephant Airport, CLIFFORD KRAUSS, New York Times, October 3, 2004
The airport is classifed as an airport of entry by NAV CANADA and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency. CBSA officers at this airport currently can handle general aviation aircraft only with no more than 15 passengers.<ref name="CFS"/>
Technically speaking, it is one of two airports in Canada with sufficient right-of-way that can be expanded to accommodate 50 million passengers per year, the other being Toronto Pearson International Airport, though a lack of traffic meant that Mirabel was never expanded beyond its first phase. It is the only non-capital airport with fewer than 200,000 passengers a year to be part of the National Airports System.

Toronto Aerodrome, one of the historical airfields of Canada, operated from 1931 to 1939, and was located at current Downsview subway station. Toronto Aerodrome was one of the several small airfields, which were established in Toronto area during the 1920s and 1930s. This aerodrome served as the principal custom entry point http://www.lostrivers.ca/points/air.htmfor aircraft coming to Toronto until 1939, when Malton airfield became operational. The aerodrome shared the site with the Toronto Flying Club.
Armour Heights Field was home to a Royal Flying Corps airfield near Toronto, Canada during World War I, and was one of three in the area. Many RFC (later, Royal Air Force) pilots trained in Canada due to space availability. The airfield was opened in July 1917, but closed in 1919 as the war had ended. It was later developed as a residential development and remains as such today.
In 1917, an airfield was constructed near the site of the present Avenue Road and Route 401 interchange, and early the following year, the School of Special Flying opened. Student pilots received instruction on the basics of flight, aerial reconnaissance and aerial combat. However, the school had a short life as it closed around the time the Armistice was signed, on November 11, 1918.
In 1919, Bishop-Barker Airplanes Limited, founded by World War I Royal Flying Corps veterans William "Billy" Bishop and William Barker, took over the Armour Heights aerodrome. This business venture was also short-lived, closing in 1921, and one of Canada’s busiest airfields at the time was simply abandoned.
Victoria STOLport <s></s> was a Short Take-Off and Landing aerodrome near downtown Montreal during the mid 1970s. The airport briefly had service to Ottawa/Rockcliffe Airport using de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft, before it was decommissioned and eventually turned into a technology park. The STOLport had been constructed on the former parking lot for Expo 67.
Montréal/Boucherville Water Aerodrome, , was located on the Saint Lawrence River near Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The airport was listed as abandoned in the 15 March 2007 Canada Flight Supplement.
Willowdale Airfield was located in Willowdale, Ontario near Finch Avenue and Senlac. Like many of the small airstrip in Toronto, it disappeared before World War II. In 1948, the former airfield became part of what is now York Cemetery.
Long Branch Aerodrome in west end Toronto was opened for use in 1917 by the Royal Flying Corps, but closed 1919.
The aerodrome was one of three in Toronto, the others at Leaside and Downsview. Today it is the site of Ontario Power Generation's Lakeview Generating Station.
Leaside Aerodrome was an airport in the Town of Leaside, Ontario (now a neighbourhood of Toronto). It opened in 1917 as a Royal Flying Corps airfield during the First World War.
Unlike nearby Armour Heights Field, the airfield was not abandoned at the end of the war, but was acquired for use by the Toronto Flying Club. After the war, the airstrip became the site of Canada's first delivery of airmail on June 24, 1918 when pilot Brian Peck delivered 120 letters from Montreal. This delivery was initially organized at the behest of some of his friends in Montreal who wanted letters delivered to Toronto; however when the Post Office Department heard of the plans, they gathered together the letters as a test of an airmail system.
The Toronto Flying Club closed the airport in 1931. From June 1942 - March 1944, the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) operated No. 1 RDF (Radio Direction Finding) School at Leaside, and the station was briefly known as RCAF Station Leaside. Although the airport was replaced with industrial uses, the last hangar was not removed until 1971.
Barker Field was one of a two airfields in the Downsview area of Toronto, Ontario.
Open in 1927, it was a civilian airfield for the early era of flying in Canada. It remained in use until 1953. The area (northwest corner of Lawrence Avenue West and Dufferin Street) has since been re-developed as a commercial site (auto dealership, gas station and other businesses).
Maple Airport was a small airfield in the city of Vaughan in the York Region of Ontario. It later became a commercial and civilian facility for small aircraft. The site has since been redeveloped into a residential neighbourhood, Maple Airport Park and Maple Creek Public School.
The abandonment of Maple Airport was a pattern for most small airports in the Greater Toronto Area. As well, the suburban sprawl in York Region doomed the airport's future.
Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport, also known as Jean Lesage International Airport (French: Aéroport international Jean-Lesage de Québec, or Aéroport de Québec) was established in 1939, a year after the closure of the Aérodrome Saint-Louis. It is located west southwest of Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. First established as a training facility for air observers, the first flight occurred on September 11 1941. It is the second busiest passenger airport in Quebec after Montreal-Trudeau airport and the third busiest airport by aircraft movements in Quebec after Montreal-Trudeau and Montreal-Saint-Hubert, with 1,026,090 passengers<ref name="2008pax"/> and 125,466 aircraft movements in 2008.<ref name="2008move" />
First known as the Aéroport de l'Ancienne Lorette, then the Aéroport de Sainte-Foy, and later the Aéroport de Québec, it was renamed to Aéroport international Jean-Lesage in 1993, in honour of the former Premier of Quebec, Jean Lesage.
The airport is managed and operated by Aéroport de Québec inc., a non-profit and non-share corporation. The current terminal building has a capacity of 1.2 million passengers annually.
Public transportation to the airport once a day is provided by RTC bus 78.
