Montréal/Saint-Hubert Airport (IATA: YHU, ICAO: CYHU) 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 2005, 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 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.
