Cartierville Airport airport codes|YCV|CYCV was an airport in Saint-Laurent, Quebec, now a borough of Montreal. The airport was decommissioned and turned into the Bois-Franc neighbourhood. It was located next to Route 117, and the terminal buildings were accessed via Boul. Henri-Bourassa (formerly Rue Bois Franc), near the present Bois-Franc Train Station on the Montreal—Deux Montagnes Rail Line.

At one time, Canadair Plant One used the airfield to fly off completed CL-215, CL-415, Challenger bizjets and Canadair Regional Jets. The airport was closed to private and commercial passenger traffic in the 1980s when it became apparent that traffic from the nearby Dorval Airport was making it hazardous for chartered flights and flight schools to operate on the site. This left Bombardier as the sole user.

Notes

*Cartierville Airport was first known as Bois-Franc Field, before WWI.
*An Air France 707 airliner mistook Cartierville for Dorval, but fortunately made a safe landing. However, the runway was not long enough to take off again, so the wings were removed, and it was wheeled to Dorval, via Thimens boulevard and Côte-Vertu road.

*July 27, 1960 - A Pan Am 707, bound for Dorval Airport in Montreal, Quebec, mistakenly lands at Cartierville. See "Jet Lands Safely at Wrong Airport," New York Times, July 28, 1960.
