Montreal, Quebec (CYUL) - Pierre Trudeau International Airport |
|
The birth of Dorval Airport goes back to the beginning of the 1940s. At the time, it was becoming clear that the Saint-Hubert Airport (Montréal's first official airport, in operation since 1927) could no longer meet the city's growing aviation needs. The Minister of Transport purchased the land at the Dorval Race Track, thus ensuring the best possible location for the new airport. Montréal-Dorval International Airport went into operation on September 1, 1941 with three paved runways. By 1946, the airport was already hosting more than a quarter million passengers a year. This number grew to more than a million by the mid-1950s. At the time, Trudeau was the busiest airport in all of Canada. The airport is now named after former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. |
