Rapid transit line in Ottawa, Ontario
Line 4 (also known as the Airport Link ) is a light rail line on the O-Train network in Ottawa , Ontario . The line provides a connection between the Trillium Line (Line 2) at South Keys station to the Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport .

The line uses a fleet of Alstom Coradia LINTs , a diesel multiple unit that was originally used on the Trillium Line. The Line 4 trains are shorter than those used on other O-Train lines due to the line's low projected ridership; the station were also built with shorter platforms.
