The airport is equipped with Canada Customs facilities[4] 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.[5] Most residents of Gatineau use the nearby Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport, or travel to Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.
