About This Airport
No passenger curfew, two long runways and a stand-alone freighter apron: Montreal-Mirabel (YMX) is built for night cargo. Opened in 1975 as the world's largest airport by area and abandoned for passenger service in 2004, it has reinvented itself as a dedicated freight airport operated by Aéroports de Montréal, handling the bulk of Greater Montreal's pure-freighter traffic while nearby Trudeau (YUL) keeps the belly-cargo and passenger business. The around-the-clock access for heavy freighters is a rare North American advantage. Regular operators include FedEx Express, UPS Airlines, Cargojet, Nolinor, Pascan and Asiana Cargo, alongside courier and e-commerce players such as DHL, Purolator, Canada Post and Amazon Air. Customs are cleared on site by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), backed by bonded warehouses for goods in transit. Autoroutes 15 and 50 link the airport to Montreal and the US border for trucked feeder traffic. A defining feature is the adjoining aerospace and industrial cluster: Airbus assembles the A220 (formerly Bombardier's C-Series) at Mirabel, and engine and MRO operations such as Pratt & Whitney Canada and Bell Textron sit on site — a source of high-value, often time-critical air freight.
