Airport contact
Boutique Air flies the sole scheduled route, a federally subsidized Essential Air Service (EAS) shuttle to Boston Logan (21 round trips/week on 8/9-seat Pilatus PC-12s), under a contract running April 2025 through March 2028. Sited near the St. Lawrence Seaway just 13 km from Cornwall, Ontario (~86 km from Ottawa, ~117 km from Montreal), MSS holds U.S. Customs Port-of-Entry status and historically sees heavy use by Canadian travelers; first airline service began in 1946 with Colonial Airlines.

Boutique Air
Boutique Air is the sole scheduled EAS carrier at MSS, self-handling its daily nonstop Pilatus PC-12 flights to Boston Logan (BOS) via its own local station (phone •••) for ticketing, baggage, and passenger service; it holds interline agreements with American Airlines and United Airlines for through ticketing and baggage transfer, though United's arrangement is interline-only since it ended its codeshare with Boutique in late 2024.
