Group seeks to ban night flights at Trudeau Airport  
UK Travel  
   

A group consisting of the residents of suburbs and municipalities lying in the close proximity to the Pierre Trudeau Airport of Montreal is pressurizing the local officials to ban all night flights from the airport. This is due to the reason that this densely populated area is facing a bothering disturbance from the annoying noise produced by the arrivals and departures, as the airport is less than at about 15 minutes drive from the core area of the downtown.

On the other hand, the airport authority of the city Aéroports de Montréal (ADM) claims that it has no plans to ban all the night flights completely. It has also ruled out the possibility of the idea that the Mirabel Airport located at about 60 minutes drive from Montreal is reopened.

However, ADM has confirmed that it certainly has plans to alter the paths of all aircrafts to enable limiting the noise generated by them. However, the residents of Ville Saint-Laurent, a Montreal borough sited to the north of Trudeau Airport, believe that this change of flight paths will have a severe adverse effect even as it helps the municipalities located to the south and west of this airport. To solve all these issues at once, the group opposing the night flights believe that the best solution is to consider the reopening Mirabel and transfer all these routes to this place, which was once known as one of the largest airports across the globe.

Luc Marion, the group's spokesperson commented, "We are fortunate to have a second airport that is fully functional. Send them back."
