Rivière Rouge/Mont-Tremblant International Inc Airport or Mont-Tremblant International, (IATA: YTM, ICAO: CYFJ), is located 25 nautical miles (42 km) north of Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, Canada.

The airport was originally built to military specifications, as an RCAF emergency landing field, with a runway of 6000ft. It subsequently became home to 447 SAM Squadron, armed with 29 nuclear tipped CIM-10 Bomarc missiles.

The airport is classified 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.[1]

The airport is about a 40 minute taxi ride from the resort at Mont Tremblant in good road conditions. It can take up to an hour in winter snow conditions as part of the road is secondary pavement with many twists and turns.

It was announced in July 2007 that Continental would start a daily non-stop service to Newark using an Embraer Regional Jet. This will allow local residents to book connections on Continental out of Newark to other North American and Central and South American destinations avoiding the hassle of Montreal airport.
