Montreal is the second-largest charter market in Canada and the busiest in Quebec, with a steady mix of corporate travel, cross-border trips into the US northeast and the transatlantic runs that the city’s European connections generate.
The Montreal Airport for a Private Charter
Charter flights use Montreal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL/YUL), the main gateway for the city and the one with the handling and customs facilities a charter arrival needs.
Distance and the Aircraft
From Montreal it is roughly 80 nautical miles to Ottawa, 130 to Quebec City, 270 to Toronto and 290 to New York, which are all comfortable in a light jet or even a turboprop. London is about 3,080 from Toronto and a little less from here, which is a heavy or long range jet trip. Tell us the destination and the headcount and the aircraft follows from those two things.
The Race Weekend
The Montreal race weekend is the one date that changes how this airport behaves. Everybody wants the same arrival window, ground handling runs at capacity, and a slot that looked generous in the spring is tight by the week itself. Book early, and if the realistic arrival is the night before we will say so rather than quote you a window that will not hold.
Winter and the Border
Montreal winters are real and de-icing is part of every departure from late autumn into spring. A trip into the United States is an international charter in both directions, so we need full legal names in advance and the return clears customs at a designated airport of entry.
Aircraft We Arrange
Every category is set out on its own page, from a piston twin on a short regional leg through to an airliner-size aircraft for a large group: see the aircraft index. For freight rather than passengers, air cargo charter is a separate service with its own aircraft.
