YHU Infrastructure Partners and MET – Montreal Metropolitan Airport announced the official opening of the new terminal on June 15, 2026.
“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 covers 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.
“We are not simply building an airport terminal; we’re redefining the way people travel in Montreal,” says 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 design 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. Opened in 1927, Saint-Hubert Airport–now MET – Montreal Metropolitan Airport–is Canada’s oldest airport and served as Montreal’s main airport for many years. Commercial flights were moved to Dorval in 1940 so airport could be fully dedicated to the war effort.
The terminal was designed by Scott & Associates, and construction was carried out by PCL Construction, with work beginning less than three years ago in August 2023.
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.
