Montréal – Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) & Mirabel International Airport (YMX)
New routes and frequency possibilities and why these routes would work
| Routes to Asia and South America targeted! |
Since last year, ADM has welcomed four new carriers at Montréal-Trudeau: Air Algérie, Royal Jordanian, Porter Airlines and Sunwing Airlines have extended its destinations. ADM is the local airport authority responsible for the management, operation and development of Montréal–Trudeau and Montréal–Mirabel international airports since 1992. The Corporation employs a total of some 600 people at both airports and at head office. ADM is committed to continue offering the highest number of non-stop international destinations. This is the reason we are today pursuing a strategy focusing on emerging markets in Asia and South America, two areas where traffic growth is remarkably high to and from Montréal. At the moment some 40 air carriers operate regular or seasonal flights out of Montréal-Trudeau, while Montréal-Mirabel concentrates on cargo and industrial activities with the presence of major players such as Fedex, UPS and Cargojet. There are direct flights to more than 100 regular and seasonal destinations in Canada, the U.S., the Caribbean and most of the European capitals. Since last year, ADM has welcomed four new carriers at Montréal-Trudeau; Air Algérie currently serves Algiers three times a week, while Royal Jordanian has a direct service to Amman twice per week. Two new Canadian carriers started service: Sunwing Airlines; a charter carrier with an extensive network to Cuba and the Dominican Republic and Porter Airlines, a regional carrier with daily non-stop service to Toronto Island. The airline community at both YUL and YMX airports are all taking advantage of the economic growth with continuing enhancement of their presence in Montréal. For example, US Airways just introduced a new daily flight to its major hub, Charlotte, North Carolina in July 2008. |

Under-served freight opportunities and other economic impact factors
Montréal, with some 3.7 million inhabitants and 80 distinct ethnic cultures, is a resolutely international city. A world leader in a wide range of industries, including aeronautics, information technology and biotechnologies, the city is also renowned for innovation in medicine, multimedia and the arts.
Greater Montréal is one of the world’s three aerospace capitals, along with Seattle and Toulouse. It is among the rare places in the world where all the main components of an aircraft are manufactured within a 20-mile (30-kilometre) radius. Nearly two-thirds of Canadian production is centred here.
Montréal’s aerospace industry boasts prime contractors, equipment manufacturers, among the world’s top subcontractors and suppliers, as well as a qualified and competitive labour force and unique training centres. The presence of all these key industry players explains why the Greater Montréal region is renowned for its leading-edge expertise in the design, manufacturing, integration, overhaul and repair of aircraft and aeronautical subsystems.
