Background Information

From 1928, the airfield that would eventually become Ottawa Airport began offering some of the first cross-country services, and alongside the establishment of a training school for the Royal Canadian Air Force, air traffic began to increase substantially. In the 50's, the airport was the busiest airport in the country, and when the airport became fully commercial in 1960, passenger capacity greatly increased. By 1980, however, the airport was serving over 2 million passengers, more than double the allocated capacity, and further development was conducted in the turn of the millennium to create a second terminal.

Ottawa Airport has a wide selection of food, drink and shopping options, with some of the highest quality of service in the world, along with a number of other facilities that meet the needs of many different people. These include high-tech business facilities and luxury lounges. The terminal’s interiors are intricately designed to create a calm and relaxing atmosphere for passengers, and include a number of sculptures and carvings from Canadian artists.
