The number of passengers at Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) declined in the third quarter, mainly due to lower traffic with the United States, the Aéroports de Montréal (ADM) said on Tuesday.

Some 6.5 million people passed through the airport in Dorval during the three-month-long period ending Sept. 30, representing a 2.3 per cent decrease compared to the same quarter in 2024.

Cross-border traffic declined by 12.2 per cent, with traffic “inevitably affected by the current geopolitical context,” according to ADM President and CEO Yves Beauchamp.

Domestic traffic also declined by 0.6 per cent, while international traffic rose by 1.2 per cent.
