Montréal/Mascouche Airport, (TC LID: CSK3), is a small, general aviation airport located 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) southeast of Mascouche and approximately 20 km northeast of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is reached by Autoroute 640 at exit 44.
The mandatory frequency for this airport is 122.35 Mhz.
The Mascouche airport is the largest regional airport in the province of Quebec, in terms of air traffic. It is located close to the Legardeur regional hospital and could be used for medical evacuations in the future. The airport regroups 30 buildings, 15 related SMEs (including Cargair Inc.) and sustains 75 full-time jobs. A hundred small planes are stationed there year-round.
There has been talks of closing down (or to privatize) the airport during the last decade, for various reasons: the land lots are well-located and are zoned industrial, the city is unwilling to invest in the airport, and the airport couldn't get funds from the government to build a control tower and to expand the runway's length.
