Killaloe/Bonnechere Airport, formerlery IATA : YXI, ICAO : CYXI, near Killaloe, Ontario, Canada, was built by the Canadian Department of Transportation (later Transport Canada) in 1952 as a Cold War airstrip for interceptors. It is used as a drones and robotics test facility, owned by TC, operated by Invest Ottawa and open to innovators, academia, all levels of government, and the public.

The associated VOR, YXI, was decommissioned in 2021 by Nav Canada.
