October 13, 2023    Montreal, Quebec    Transport Canada

The Minister of Transport and Quebec Lieutenant, Pablo Rodriguez, today issued the following statement:

“Earlier this week, leadership from Aéroports de Montréal, Air Canada, WestJet, Air Transat, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, the Canada Border Services Agency, NAV Canada and Transport Canada met in Dorval to find solutions for passengers traveling through the Montreal-Trudeau International Airport.

In this meeting, we discussed opportunities for better information sharing among partners, to help ease the pressure during peak periods. We explored opportunities to improve service and agreed to continue our work to find short-term solutions to the congestion challenges at the Airport.

We have all experienced delays and cancellations when travelling. We know how frustrating this is. Canadians work hard to save up to travel and they expect airlines, airports, and their partners to do better. In this meeting, we agreed that we all have to step up for Canadians.”
