New Satellite Jetty at Montréal-Trudeau Airport
Official title: Development of a Satellite Jetty at the Montréal-Trudeau International Airport
ADM Aéroports de Montréal wants to build a new satellite jetty at Trudeau Airport. The plan includes a temporary structure with 4 gates (8 aircraft) and a permanent one with 12 gates (up to 24 aircraft). This is a federal environmental assessment for construction on federal lands.
Why This Matters
Fly through Montréal often? This expansion could mean shorter walks to your gate and fewer delays during busy periods. Live near the airport? Construction and increased flight capacity could affect noise levels in your neighbourhood.
What Could Change
If approved, the airport would gain capacity for up to 24 additional aircraft at once. Construction would happen in two phases: a temporary jetty first, then a permanent 12-gate structure. Environmental conditions may be imposed on noise, emissions, and construction impacts.
Key Issues
- What are the environmental impacts of expanding airport capacity on federal lands?
- How will construction and increased flights affect nearby communities?
Indigenous Consultation
This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
