The [[Gatineau-Ottawa Executive Airport]] is Gatineau's municipal airport, capable of handling small jets. There are Canada customs facilities for aircraft coming from outside Canada, a car rental counter and a restaurant. The airport has a few regularly scheduled flights to points within Quebec, but most residents of Gatineau use the nearby [[Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport]] or travel to [[Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport]] in Montreal.

Ottawa and Gatineau have two distinct bus-based public transit systems with different fare structures, [[OC Transpo]] and the [[Société de transport de l'Outaouais]]. Tickets are not interchangeable between the two, however passes and transfers from one system to the other do not require payment of a surcharge on any routes. There is a [[Gatineau LRT|proposed LRT system]] that would connect Gatineau to [[Bayview station (Ottawa)|Bayview]] and [[Rideau Centre]] Stations in Ottawa.<ref>{{cite news |title=Gatineau reveals $2.1B LRT plan, eyes 2028 launch |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/gatineau-aylmer-ottawa-light-rail-1.4713843 |access-date=20 December 2018 |publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation |date=20 June 2018 |archive-date=14 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181114184041/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/gatineau-aylmer-ottawa-light-rail-1.4713843 |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Roads ===

Many Gatineau highways and major arteries feed directly into the bridges crossing over to Ottawa, but once there the roads lead into the dense downtown grid or into residential areas, with no direct connection to [[Ontario Highway 417|The Queensway]]. This difficulty is further magnified by the lack of a major highway on the Quebec side of the [[Ottawa River]] connecting Gatineau to Montreal, the [[metropolis]] of the province; most travellers from Gatineau to Montreal first cross over to Ottawa, and use Ontario highways to access Montreal. However, it is expected that since [[Quebec Autoroute 50|Autoroute 50]] has been completed,<ref>[http://thereview.ca/story/crews-will-work-through-winter-have-highway-50-open-2012 Crews will work through winter to have Highway 50 open in 2012 | The Review] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111010091817/http://thereview.ca/story/crews-will-work-through-winter-have-highway-50-open-2012 |date=10 October 2011 }}.
