Montreal Metropolitan Airport (YHU) will officially open its new passenger terminal on 15 June 2026, marking the start of commercial flight operations and a significant expansion of airport capacity in the Greater Montreal region.
The terminal, developed by YHU Infrastructure Partners, will initially host operations from Porter Airlines and Pascan Aviation, offering domestic routes connecting destinations across Canada. The facility has also been designed to accommodate additional carriers as demand grows.
Airport officials say the new terminal will provide travellers with a more accessible and efficient alternative, supporting the development of a multi airport system in Montreal similar to those in other major global cities.
Yanic Roy, President and CEO of Montreal Metropolitan Airport, said the project will deliver greater flexibility for both passengers and airlines.
“For Greater Montreal passengers, the opening of the terminal will offer more travel options and allow airlines to benefit from additional capacity in the metropolitan region,” he said.
The 21,000 square metre terminal features nine boarding bridges and a central departure lounge with capacity for 900 passengers. Its integrated operating model brings all services under a single management structure, improving coordination and enabling faster operational response.
Charles Roberge, President and CEO of YHU Infrastructure Partners, said the development focuses on simplicity and efficiency.
“We are redefining the way people travel in Montreal, with a seamless and efficient passenger experience designed to meet the expectations of today’s travellers,” he said.
The terminal’s compact design allows passengers to move quickly through the facility, reducing processing times and enabling later arrival before departure.
Located approximately 15 kilometres from central Montreal, the airport is connected by road infrastructure and a dedicated express shuttle service linking the terminal with the Longueuil Université de Sherbrooke metro station.
Retail and food and beverage offerings within the terminal will focus on Quebec based brands, including Bâton Rouge and Café Dépôt.
Construction began in August 2023 and was completed in under three years, with strong support from regional stakeholders and local communities.
