History of Trudeau International Airport in Montreal

Trudeau Airport in Montreal was formerly known as Dover International Airport in Montreal. Dover airport was put into use in World War II because of its excellent weather conditions. It used to be the third busiest airport in North America. Later, due to the rise of Toronto, many flights began to turn to Toronto. After that, the Canadian government began to vigorously promote and build the new Montreal airport-Mirabel Airport. However, due to the gradual reduction of flights to Montreal and the proximity of Dover Airport to the urban area, the new airport was gradually abandoned.

Montreal's multi-airport system consists of two airports, one is Dorval Airport (airport code YUL) and the other is Milla Bull Airport (airport code YMX), both of which are managed by Montreal Airport (ADM).
