Ottawa International Airport Authority

The Ottawa International Airport Authority runs the airport that serves Ottawa, Canada. The airport is known by its code, YOW. It handles passengers flying in and out of the Ottawa area.

Travellers can follow real-time arrival and departure flight statuses. The airport lists its non-stop destinations and the airlines that fly there. It also explains its airport improvement fees.

Getting to and from YOW is covered by several services. They include parking, pick-up and drop-off areas, ground transportation and car rentals. The airport also offers guidance for business travellers and for parking and pick-up during special events.

An airport guide helps people plan a trip. It has a terminal map, advice for travelling from and to YOW and information on accommodations. It also explains safety and security at the airport and the rules for flying drones near YOW.

Passenger services include food and beverage outlets, shops, amenities and lounges. Fourteen food outlets are listed across the pre-security and post-security areas. They include Big Rig Kitchen & Brewery, which serves pub fare and breakfast, Bridgehead, which serves organic Fairtrade coffee in the Arrivals area, and Booster Juice for smoothies and juices.

Twelve shops are listed as well. Best Buy dispensers stock chargers, adapters, headphones and tablets. iStore Express sells tablets, smart watches, phones and headphones. Maison de la Presse sells books and periodicals. No Boundaries sells outdoor clothing and gear such as jackets, backpacks and rain gear. The airport also publishes information on passenger rights.

The airport keeps travellers informed of changes. It has posted a temporary air traffic change while Runway 14/32 is closed for improvements, which brings more aircraft noise to nearby communities. Air Canada has announced new routes between Canada and the United States for summer 2027 under its joint business agreement with United Airlines.
