Air Canada has implemented a dedicated shuttle service and other traffic-flow measures to reduce congestion at Montréal-Trudeau Airport [1].
These adjustments are critical as ongoing construction projects have created significant road delays for travelers and airport staff. The measures aim to prevent gridlock and ensure that passengers can reach their terminals on time despite the disrupted infrastructure [1, 2].
Airport officials and Air Canada are coordinating to improve the movement of vehicles and people through the site. The shuttle service is designed to move large groups of travelers more efficiently, reducing the number of individual vehicles attempting to navigate construction zones [1].
Road congestion has become a persistent issue at the facility due to several major infrastructure projects [2]. The disruption to normal traffic patterns was further compounded by the closure of the airport's multi-storey parking structure on Oct. 15, 2025 [3].
Travelers are encouraged to use the new shuttle and follow updated signage to avoid delays. The airport continues to manage various construction sites that impact the primary access roads leading into the terminal area [1, 2].
“Air Canada has implemented a dedicated shuttle service and other traffic-flow measures to reduce congestion.”
The implementation of a private shuttle service by a primary carrier suggests that public infrastructure at Montréal-Trudeau Airport is currently unable to handle passenger volumes during its renovation phase. This shift toward managed transit indicates a temporary move away from individual vehicle reliance to maintain operational viability during major construction.
