Aéroports de Montréal says renovations will increase capacity to handle the expected rise in passenger volume to 28 million by 2028 and up to 35 million by 2035.

Work includes a complete reconfiguration of the road network leading to the airport to reduce traffic, and the demolition of the multi-level parking garage for a new, larger parking facility.

The airport authority also plans to build a new building that will connect the terminal to the future light rail station, expected to be operational by 2027.

Aéroports de Montréal says other upgrades include more gates and a new satellite air bridge to connect to the terminal.
