Designed as part of Montreal-Trudeau International Airport’s (YUL) long-term vision, a newly completed transit connection centre now enhances the experience for passengers passing through the city without entering it.

The centre separates travellers in transit from those arriving at their destination, expediting border control and creating a streamlined, efficient path through customs.

Located at the intersection of YUL’s three concourses—international, domestic, and transborder—the two-storey facility is connected to both arrivals and departures. The space is bathed in natural light, thanks to a 23.5- x 13.5-m (77.1- x 44.3-ft) skylight positioned above the Primary Inspection Kiosk (PIK) area, and a generous curtain wall overlooking the aircraft parking area.
