Is Oshawa Executive Airport a good alternative to Toronto Pearson?

For trips centered on Oshawa, Durham Region, or the eastern GTA, yes. It offers a staffed control tower, lower traffic volumes, and faster ground access than Pearson, though it is best suited to light and midsize jets given its runway lengths.

Does Oshawa Executive Airport have overnight flight restrictions?

Yes. Between 10:30 PM and 6:30 AM, only police, medical, and industrial emergency flights may land or depart, so Élan schedules charter arrivals and departures within the airport's standard operating hours.

How far is Oshawa Executive Airport from downtown Toronto?

The airport is roughly 30 miles east of downtown Toronto at the north end of Oshawa, making it most practical for passengers whose destination is in Durham Region or the eastern GTA rather than the downtown core.

What size aircraft can use Oshawa Executive Airport?

With a longest runway of 4,250 feet, the airport comfortably accommodates light jets and turboprops. Élan confirms specific aircraft performance requirements against current runway conditions when booking.

Is there a control tower at Oshawa Executive Airport?

Yes, NAV CANADA has staffed a control tower at Oshawa Executive Airport since 2018, providing air traffic services during published daily operating hours.

Fly private from Oshawa Executive Airport

Oshawa Executive Airport serves as a general aviation reliever for the eastern Greater Toronto Area, giving private charter passengers a direct, uncongested alternative to Toronto Pearson when business or leisure travel is centered on Durham Region, Oshawa, or the eastern GTA. A NAV CANADA control tower has staffed the field since 2018, replacing an older facility and adding weather observation capability.

The airport's location at the north end of Oshawa keeps ground transfer times short for passengers headed into the city or to nearby corporate campuses, and its lower traffic volumes compared to Pearson typically translate into faster ramp-to-car turnarounds for charter clients.

A residential noise-sensitivity restriction limits movements between 10:30 PM and 6:30 AM to police, medical, and industrial emergency flights, so Élan's charter coordinators plan arrival and departure windows around those published hours to keep every trip on schedule.
