Greater Montreal Set to Open New Airport

 

YHU Infrastructure Partners (YHU) and MET – Montreal Metropolitan Airport (MET) will be opening the new terminal on June 15, 2026. The introduction of commercial flights at MET will be a major advantage for Greater Montreal passengers, who can look forward to an accessible, efficient and user-friendly airport.

Once open the terminal will the host operations of Porter Airlines and Pascan Aviation, offering flights connecting Canadian destinations from coast to coast. The terminal will also be able to welcome additional carriers in the future.

Many major cities around the world already rely on a network of complementary airports to meet the air travel needs of residents and visitors. Montreal now joins this list with the new terminal at MET, which aims to become the airport of choice for direct flights operated exclusively using quieter, more fuel-efficient single-aisle aircrafts.

“For Greater Montreal passengers, the opening of the terminal at MET will offer more options for travellers and allow airlines to take advantage of greater airport capacity in the metropolitan region,” said Yanic Roy, president and CEO of MET – Montreal Metropolitan Airport.

Designed, built and operated by YHU Infrastructure Partners, the new terminal offers a renewed vision of air travel centred on efficiency, comfort and simplicity.

Covering 21,000 square metres, the terminal features nine boarding bridges and a spacious waiting lounge with 900 seats. Its integrated operating model, where all operations are managed under Terminal YHU, streamlines coordination and enables rapid response when needed. Meanwhile, the terminal’s compact size and the efficiency of the passenger journey allow travellers to arrive shortly before boarding and move quickly through the facility.

“We are not simply building an airport terminal; we’re redefining the way people travel in Montreal,” said Charles Roberge, president and CEO of YHU Terminal. “This project is the result of close collaboration with MET – Montreal Metropolitan Airport, and every detail has been designed to offer passengers a seamless, efficient and human experience that meets the expectations of today’s travellers.”

The sleek design, which maximizes natural light, incorporates contemporary nods to the historic visit of the R-100 airship in 1930, when its arrival in Saint-Hubert drew massive crowds and symbolized the technological daring of the era.

The terminal was designed by Scott & Associates, and construction was by PCL Construction.
