Montreal airport renovations to cost $10 billion over decade
Montreal's Trudeau airport (YUL) is planning major renovations that come with a price tag of $10 billion, it said Wednesday.
As part of that funding, the ADM Aéroports de Montréal secured a $1 billion investment from the Canada Infrastructure Bank.
ADM says its passenger traffic has surpassed pre-pandemic levels, and its 10-year renovation plan is needed to 'keep pace with demand.'
Renovation plans were announced in June. Part of the airport's goal is to alleviate traffic.
The ADM said it will reconfigure certain road accesses, build new drop-off areas, demolish the current large multi-storey car park to build a new one further away, add parking spaces, add a satellite pier and expand the baggage hall, build a rainwater retention basin south of the airport and welcome the REM.
The airport expects to see its passenger volume reach 25 million people by 2028 and between 30 to 35 million by 2035.
'YUL's development plan is extensive, but essential to ensure that our international airport can continue to accommodate growing passenger numbers and meet the expectations and needs of its users,' said ADM CEO Yves Beauchamp in a news release. 'YUL will now be able to fulfil its role as a driver of socio-economic development for the city, province, and country even more effectively.'
Last month, the Canadian Competition Bureau said the airport should end its monopoly on international travel, which the ADM opposes.
ADM stresses that the airport expansion will create thousands of jobs, improve service and support long-term economic growth.

Quebec-based Couche-Tard pulls out of bid for 7-Eleven parent company
Headlines Latest News Podcasts (new window) Couche-Tard made 1st offer in August 2024 A Couche-Tard convenience store is seen in Montreal, Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024. Photo: The Canadian Press / Christinne Muschi Alimentation Couche-Tard has backed away from a bid to buy the parent company of Japanese convenience store giant 7-Eleven. Couche-Tard says it withdrew its proposal to buy Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd., which it accused of failing to sincerely and constructively engage with its offer. Couche-Tard says it repeatedly sought a friendly dialogue with Seven & i's founding family but alleges it was not open to any conversation and management hasn't been willing to address basic questions about industry dynamics in the country. Couche-Tard, the Quebec-based firm which owns Circle K and Ingo, first made a friendly offer for Seven & i last August. It improved the bid that fall before issuing a non-binding proposal earlier this year. Seven & i initially rebuffed the takeover, saying it would be too hard to nab regulatory approvals because some would see the deal as reducing competition across several markets. But after Seven & i's founding family failed to secure financing for what could have been a competing bid, Couche-Tard and the Japanese firm entered more serious discussions earlier this year about a potential path forward.

North Atlantic enters non-binding MOU with N.L. government to lease Bull Arm fabrication site
Newfoundland and Labrador has found someone to lease and operate a massive fabrication site in Trinity Bay. North Atlantic was awarded the lease for Bull Arm, entering into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the provincial government to develop a "green energy centre of excellence" at the site in collaboration with private and public partners to "support the energy transition." "Commercial items in the non-binding MOU protect the provincial government's interests as the owner of this major industrial site, while providing North Atlantic the flexibility it needs to successfully attract investment and business to the site and earn a return on its investment," reads a statement issued by the Department of Industry, Energy and Technology on Thursday morning. The property has a long history as the host for oil and gas megaprojects, originally developed for Hibernia and playing a role in the development for the Hebron project. North Atlantic will take on operational and maintenance costs while kicking back a share of profits to the province. "Our goal throughout this process has been to maximize the economic and employment benefit to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, while also providing a viable long-term business opportunity for potential proponents of the Bull Arm site," said Industry Minister Steve Crocker in the statement. "North Atlantic's plan for this site and the MOU is consistent with this goal." The lease for the Bull Arm Site is currently held by Bull Arm Fabrication Inc., which operates the site on behalf of the provincial government.
