This incredible range of travel options has helped position YFC as one of the fastest-growing airports in Atlantic Canada, driving 10 years of record-breaking passenger numbers. In 2018, for the first time, more than 400,000 passengers used our airport. That was up almost 7% from the previous year. It continues to climb: in 2019, our year-to-date traffic has already increased 3.9% over last year.

there have already been 135,677 passenger movements to the end of June.
“If this keeps up, I believe we will,” says airport general manager Carman Hendry. “We should hit 300,000 this year.”
From March to the end of June, each month has seen more than 20,000 passengers moving through the airport.
June alone saw 24,154 movements, gaining on the current monthly record of 24,670 movements set in August 2014.
This means that energy industry charters that use the terminal don't appear to get counted, thereby under-reporting numbers a bit as there's a weekly charter to YEG.The passenger numbers recorded every month by the airport only reflect scheduled airline flights, not private aircraft or charters.

Gate hold upon arrival and remote parking are more and more common at YUL. There simply aren’t enough contact gates for everyone during the evening rush hour, especially on the international pier.
The situation won’t be getting any better until the new terminal is built. Unfortunately that is a good 7-10 years away. In the mean time, YUL will be a mess in the evening, both landside and airside.
ADM is tackling the issues as best it can, but it will definitely get worse, as far as the passenger experience goes, until it gets better.

They had it good by having the domestic and international areas combined but they have reintroduced a separate international area which does not have enough gates. Last week when I was there, ba, corsair and Qatar were all at remote gates

Makes connecting at YUL that much smoother.
