Aéroport Montréal-Trudeau Airport (YUL)

[Dirt_Devil]

ADM-Trudeau a crû aussi rapidement que Calgary cette année (en tout cas de Janvier à Octobre) en terme de %.

Peut-être que l'aéroport de Calgary croît à un rythme jamais vu, mais notrre petit expert oublie de dire que MTL-Trudeau croît aussi vite cette année.

De plus, c'est facile de dire que MTL est 3 fois plus populeux que Calgary. Par contre, il ne mentionne pas que Montréal est pas mal rapproché de hub majeur comme Toronto-NYC en plus de la présence de Boston et Ottawa tout près (et autres). Calgary a quoi à côté? Edmonton...que leur aéroport est celui qui croît le plus rapidement au pays mais quand même BEAUCOUP moins important que Toronto et les autres mentionnés.

Bref selon moi, l'aéroport de Calgary croît à un rythme soutenu et c'est très bien pour eux. Montréal-Trudeau croît à un rythme aussi soutenu que Calgary cette année et c'est parfait pour Montréal. L'année prochaine nous verrons mais c'est un autre débat!

Je trouve qu'il y a tellement de monde qui cherche à dénigrer Montréal-le Québec-ou même le reste du Canada en les comparant à l'Alberta. Au pire ça boom pas autant ici que là-bas mais si on reste ici c'est parce qu'on aime notre ici donc ce serait pas mal d'arrêter de se faire dire par des "experts" que c'est mieux à Calgary ou en Alberta.

Merci

Vancouver est à coter

[Dirt_Devil]

^^ Vancouver est proche de Calgary c'est vrai mais encore la...Vancouver n'est jamais aussi important que Toronto....Montréal est aussi plus proche de Boston-NYC et environ à la même distance de Philadelphie que Calgary à Vancouver. Ça commence à faire pas mal de hub majeur dans le coin de YUL n'est-ce pas?

En generale, l'est a les plus grosse ville donc avec les plus gros aeroport!

Calgary est seul dans son coin. La plus grosse ville de l'ouest est Los Angeles donc beaucoup plus au sud comparer a Montreal et a New York

En pleine expansion sur le marché international, Qatar Airways fera son entrée sur le marché canadien, cet été, avec des vols directs entre Doha et Montréal.

Le président directeur général de la société aérienne qatarienne, Akbar Al Baker, a affirmé à des journalistes à Bruxelles, mercredi, que le service débuterait «bientôt».

Selon certaines informations, le transporteur compte assurer trois vols aller-retour par semaine au moyen de Boeing 777, à compter du mois de juin.

It would be pretty surprising if Montreal got this rather than Toronto, but then again my take from the article is that it's not a done deal yet. It could open up interesting connections to India, if it happens.

Rising Canadian dollar a drag, but Vancouver easily outpaces Toronto, Montreal

By Bruce Constantineau, Vancouver Sun July 31, 2013

Arising Canadian dollar has hurt Vancouver International Airport's efficiency rating among North American airports, but YVR remains the top-performing major airport in Canada and the sixth-best performer in North America, according to University of B.C. aviation experts.

In previous years, Vancouver topped all North American airports in the annual ATRS Global Airport Benchmarking Report, but higher costs caused by a rising Canadian currency have forced a slight drop in its continental ranking.

"YVR remains a consistently good performer, certainly when compared with any other Canadian airport," said UBC Sauder School of Business professor Tae Oum, who led the study.

The report considered several factors in determining operating efficiency, including productivity, cost competitiveness, and airport user charges.

Oum said the most efficient airports get more than half their total revenues from nonaviation sources such as concessions, parking, office rent and real estate development. That can lead to lower charges for airlines and passengers.

The report found Vancouver derived 54 per cent of total 2011 revenues from non-aviation sources, compared with 46 per cent at Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, and just 33 per cent at Pearson International Airport in Toronto.

Oum said Toronto's airport efficiency has been hurt by a massive, multi-year expansion project that did not allow for a lot of new retail space to boost non-aviation revenues. Pearson Airport completed an eight-year, $4.4-billion expansion in 2008.

"They have high costs, so they have to charge high prices, otherwise they'd lose money," Oum said.

He noted Toronto charged nearly $2,000 in landing fees for a Boeing 737-800 last year, compared with about $700 in Montreal and $400 in Vancouver.

Oum said Toronto's landing fees are the highest in North America and Europe, and not far behind the fees charged at Tokyo's Narita airport and Osaka's Kansai airport.

The total amount airports charged to airlines in 2011 worked out to $14.11 US per passenger in Vancouver, $21.98 US per passenger in Montreal and $33.34 US per passenger in Toronto. Victoria airport had the lowest per-passenger costs in Canada, at about $7 US.

While Vancouver was considered the sixth-most efficient North American airport, Montreal and Toronto were both around 65th place among 77 U.S. and Canadian airports examined in the study.

The report studied 195 airports and 26 airport groups in North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania.

Archibald microbrasserie à l’aéroport de Montréal

Valérie Lesage . les affaires.com . 28-08-2013 (modifié le 28-08-2013 à 14:03)

Archibald microbrasserie, qui connaît un succès enviable à Québec depuis 2005, fera toute une percée à Montréal avec l’ouverture en décembre d’un restaurant-microbrasserie à l’aéroport Trudeau, avec vue sur les avions.

«Nous avons un concept de restaurant avec une image traditionnelle québécoise, un décor qui évoque les camps de pêche et de chasse. Notre positionnement, notre image, notre marque, notre rayonnement; tout ça a plu et nous étions la seule organisation qui répondait aux critères de l’aéroport», se réjouit François Nolin, copropriétaire d’Archibald (avec Jean Cabral), ajoutant avoir eu la chance de recevoir un coup de fil de l’administration aéroportuaire pour présenter un projet.

L’aéroport désire mettre davantage en valeur la culture québécoise et le concept d’Archibald est donc porteur. Avec des noms de bières comme Matante, Chipie et Ciboire, brassées à Québec, la couleur locale est sans équivoque.

Le restaurant de l’aéroport occupera une grande surface de 3700 pieds carrés et il s’annonce comme une vitrine de choix pour Archibald. Sept millions de passagers transitent par l’aéroport Trudeau chaque année et 8000 employés y travaillent.

Le microbrasseur prévoit embaucher de 80 à 100 personnes, ce qui portera à environ 350 le nombre de ses employés.

Good news for YUL. I might go there for a drink next time I travel

[matthew6]

The last couple of times I took a flight (early morning ones at that), the line to pass through U.S customs was so long that it stretched out past the check in area and into the lobby. They kept having to pull people out of line so they wouldn't miss their flights. The good part was not having to be drawn and quartered on those body scan things. Apparently terrorism is not a priority during peak times.

New non-stop routes from Montreal to Barcelona and Nice next summer on Air Canada Rouge.

Air Canada Adds Montreal-Barcelona and Montreal-Nice non-stop flights for Summer 2014 Schedule

MONTREAL, Oct. 8, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada announced today it is boosting its international Summer 2014 services to Europe from Montreal with the launch of seasonal non-stop flights between Montreal and Nice, France and the re-introduction of Montreal-Barcelona service. Flights will be operated by Air Canada's leisure carrier subsidiary, Air Canada rouge. In addition, the airline will expand the availability of its new international Premium Economy cabin with its introduction on Montreal-London Heathrow flights during the peak summer travel season.

As new Boeing 777-300ER and 787 aircraft enter the Air Canada mainline fleet, Air Canada will continue growing Air Canada rouge to reach a total of up to 50 aircraft, as demand warrants.

Air Canada rouge's successful inaugural season underscores its growing popularity among vacation- goers. Similarly, the introduction of our new international Premium Economy cabin has also met with extremely positive customer feedback and we are pleased to continue its introduction with our five specially-configured Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on routes such Montreal-London where market demand calls for a larger supply of Economy and Premium Economy seats, in addition to continuing to offer Executive First business class service.

"As Canada's preferred airline by business travellers, and voted Best Airline in North America for the fourth consecutive year, we are pleased to offer a wide range of premium products as well as high value options together with Air Canada rouge. We will continue leveraging Air Canada's strengths in fleet, product and network while responding to demand on both a price and cost competitive basis to serve customers across Canada and around the world," concluded Mr. Smith.

Said James Cherry, president and CEO "Aéroports de Montréal is pleased with these new non-stop services and increased capacity on existing destinations as it reinforces Montréal-Trudeau's appeal as an efficient hub to Europe."

Air Canada will have taken delivery of five new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft for the mainline fleet between June 2013 and February 2014, and the first three of 37 Boeing 787 aircraft by the summer of 2014.

The news of the flights to Nice and Barcelona was published yesterday.

However, just posting this because Air Transat is now offering a direct Montreal-Prague flight starting next summer. Very happy to hear that. I highly recommend Prague to anyone who has never been. $914 is pretty good for a round-trip direct flight to Prague.
