How Porter Airlines is Developing Montreal's Second Airport While Avoiding a $30 Billion Past Mistake

Porter Airlines is constructing a new passenger terminal at Montreal's Saint-Hubert Airport (YHU), establishing it as a secondary hub for the city. This strategic development is designed to offer a convenient alternative to the congested Trudeau International Airport, focusing primarily on domestic Canadian routes with its new Embraer E195-E2 fleet. The project consciously aims to avoid the pitfalls of the failed Montreal-Mirabel Airport, a multi-billion dollar project that was crippled by its remote location and poor planning. By investing a more modest $200 million in a right-sized, modern facility, Porter seeks to create a sustainable and successful operation where the grandiose Mirabel project previously failed.
