  • YUL Airport Overview
    Montreal-Trudeau International Airport YUL is located about 19 miles from the City of Montreal, Québec, and is the second-largest market in Canada. Befitting a large metropolitan area and a popular tourist destination, the airport is served by numerous Canadian, U.S. and international airlines offering nonstop flights to almost 100 destinations around the world.

    The 6-year construction program, completed in 2006, consisted of of several brand-new facilities, including a jetty (concourse) for flights to the United States and one for overseas flights, as well as a huge international arrivals complex comprising a customs hall and baggage-claim area. The public arrivals hall was also enlarged.

    Aéroports de Montréal then undertook modernizing the domestic sector. By the end of 2007, it completed the interior design of the boarding lounges to harmonize with that of the two other jetties, replacing the boarding bridges, as well as reconfiguring the aircraft docking stations in order to increase their number to 13. Moreshops and restaurants were added, the baggage-claim room on the arrivals level was expanded and the capacity of the carousels increased by 50%.

    UNDER WAY: new transborder departures hall adjacent to the transborder jetty. The new hall will occupy two floors inside the Marriott Hotel currently under construction and will include a check-in area, a U.S. Customs area, a pre-boarding screening checkpoint, various shops and a baggage-claim room.

    PLANNED: maintenance and improvement projects, such as redeveloping the domestic and international departures halls in the existing terminal following the relocation of the transborder departures hall; relocating the service hangars at the western end of the airport’s aircraft maneuvering area in order to allow for the possible extension of the international and transborder jetties; and reconfiguring the road network in front of the terminal.
