Execaire Aviation

Execaire Aviation operates a full-service Shell AeroCentre FBO at Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, Canada's capital city gateway. The facility features heated hangar space and can handle aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 747, making it one of the more capable FBOs in the Ottawa region. Amenities include a passenger lounge, a flight crew lounge, complimentary beverages and snacks, and on-site private parking. Canada Customs clearance is available for international arrivals, which is common given Ottawa's role as the seat of government and its proximity to the US border. The FBO provides Jet A1 fuel, anti-icing services, aircraft ground power, flight planning and weather services, custom catering, car rental coordination, and courtesy transportation. Execaire can also handle special requests for VIP security protocols and hotel bookings. The facility is located at 300 Comet Private, on the south side of the airport. Standard operating hours run 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM with after-hours service available on a callout basis, so passengers arriving on late-evening or early-morning flights should confirm arrangements in advance. Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier is about 20 minutes from Parliament Hill and downtown Ottawa, and roughly 15 minutes from the Gatineau side of the National Capital Region. Execaire is part of a broader Canadian network with FBO locations at other major airports including Toronto Pearson and Montreal, providing consistency for travelers moving between Canadian cities.
