Summary
Porter Airlines and Pascan Aviation have inaugurated a new secondary airport in the Montreal area, the MET-Montreal Metropolitan Airport (YHU). The airport will serve as a complement to the larger Montreal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) and offer nonstop flights to 11 destinations across Canada. The new terminal features a modern, spacious, and bright design with a lounge-like atmosphere. However, it lacks international flights due to an exclusivity clause in the airport lease. The airport is designed to accommodate 4 million annual travelers and is located on the south bank of the St. Lawrence River, making it more convenient for around half of the region’s population.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Travelers can enjoy a quieter alternative to Montreal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) with Porter Airlines’ new secondary airport, MET-Montreal Metropolitan Airport (YHU). The new terminal features a lounge-like atmosphere with 900 power outlets and a variety of seating types. However, it lacks the convenience of Porter’s Billy Bishop base in Toronto. The airport is designed to accommodate 4 million annual travelers and is located on the south bank of the St. Lawrence River, making it more convenient for around half of the region’s population. The exclusivity clause in the airport lease bars international flights from the new terminal, but Porter and the airport operator hope to change this in the future. And, of course, the “lounge” has no complimentary food or drinks.
