Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport



         


Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Aéroport international Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau de Montréal; IATA Airport Code YUL), or Montreal-Trudeau for short, is an international airport serving Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Montreal-Trudeau was formerly known as Montreal Dorval International Airport. It is located in Dorval, Quebec on the Island of Montreal, now part of the borough of Dorval-L'Île-Dorval in Montreal.

The airport has a satellite building (the Aeroquay) that is divided into two sections and two concourses (called jetties). It is presently undergoing a major revamp of facilities slated to go until the end of 2005.

The airport was renamed by the federal government in honour of former Canadian Prime Minister, the late Right Honourable Pierre Elliott Trudeau, on January 1, 2004, the renaming having been announced in September the previous year. This move provoked opposition from Quebecers, especially Quebec sovereignists opposed to some of the policies of Prime Minister Trudeau.

Montreal-Trudeau is one of two airports in the Montreal area, the other being Montreal-Mirabel International Airport.
