## Description

Swissport runs modern cargo warehouses and dedicated Pharma Centers at Montréal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), handling temperature-controlled, GDP-compliant shipments alongside perishables and express freight. Quebec's largest airport, straddling Dorval and Montreal, ranks among Canada's busiest and connects the region to North America, Europe and beyond. Kales Airline Services acts as general sales agent, and United Cargo maintains a station on site. The surrounding cluster of aerospace, high-tech and pharmaceutical firms — Bombardier, Bell and CAE among them — drives demand for aviation parts and high-value goods. Road and rail links, together with the major container Port of Montreal acting as an eastern Atlantic gateway, weave air freight into sea and land transport. For pharmaceutical and time-critical exports from eastern Canada, YUL is a primary reference point. Passenger volumes are substantial, but its industrial hinterland is what shapes the cargo profile.
