This second 18,400 m² expansion phase includes the addition of new boarding gates for large aircraft such as the B-787 and A380, boarding rooms, support areas for operations, a VIP lounge, as well as a new commercial area. The pier of domestic flights and some commercial areas have also been expanded, and art works have been incorporated into the project. The airport has doubled the area of aircraft space and parking to meet the growing demand for international flights.
"The project is based on a key intention to create a place that is both functional, vibrant and reflecting the image of Montreal by being creative and taking into account our limited financial resources."
