Information About Montreal st.hubert - Canada Travel Guide |
| Montréal/Saint-Hubert Airport is located 3 nautical miles (6 km) east of Longueuil, Quebec, near Montreal.
In operation since 1928, it was Montreal's first and only airport until the construction of Montréal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (formerly Montréal/Dorval International Airport). As of 2006, it is one of Canada's most important general aviation airports, ranked 12th busiest airport by aircraft movements.
The airport is divided into two sides, a military side (facing runway 06L/24R) and a civilian side (facing runway 06R/24L). Today the military base, the former RCAF Station St Hubert, has ceased operations.
Following the new National Airports Policy announced by Transport Canada in 1994, ownership of the airport was transferred to a private corporation, Développement de l’aéroport Saint-Hubert de Longueuil (DASH-L), on 1 September 2004.
It was here that the body of Quebec Minister of Labour Pierre Laporte was found during the October Crisis of 1970.
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.
