We are investing in the development of a new domestic passenger terminal at MET - Montreal Metropolitan Airport (YHU).

MET – located 15 kilometres from Montreal – is building a new terminal, providing a convenient way for passengers travelling to and from major cities across Canada to visit Montreal.

The new 21,300 m2 two-storey domestic terminal will have nine gates, associated taxiways, and landside facilities such as parking lots with barrier-free parking spaces, EV charging stations, and shuttle bus pick-up and drop-off points. Additional landside facilities include terminal frontage roads, road connection from the property boundary to long-term parking lots, landscaping, and an aviation fuel farm.

This project represents the CIB’s third investment in airport infrastructure.

Benefits of CIB’s Involvement

The project falls within the CIB’s Trade and Transportation sector which supports developing stronger, more efficient trade and transportation corridors.

The CIB’s $90 million loan will enable the new domestic passenger terminal filling a gap in the capital investment structure.
