It was the second largest airport in the world in terms of surface area ever envisioned (with a planned area of 39,660 hectares or 396.6 km²). In 1989, 81,000 of the 98,000 acres (400 km2) were deeded back to their owners.[4] The predominant role of the airport is cargo flights but it is also home to MEDEVACs[5] and general aviation[6][2] flights as well as being a manufacturing base for Bombardier Aerospace It was intended to replace the existing Dorval Airport (now Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport) as the eastern air gateway to Canada; from 1975 to 1997, all international flights to/from Montreal were required to use Mirabel. However, Mirabel's distant location and lack of transport links, as well as Montreal's economic decline relative to Toronto, made it unpopular with airlines and travelers, so Dorval was not closed as originally planned. Eventually, Mirabel was relegated to the simple role of a cargo airport. Initially a source of pride, the airport eventually became an embarrassment widely regarded in Canada as being a boondoggle and a white elephant. Today, Montreal-Mirabel International Airport is used almost exclusively for cargo flights, with passenger operations having ceased on October 31, 2004, twenty-nine years after the airport's opening and many years of limited, primarily charter service. Bombardier Aerospace launches newly constructed units from its factory at Mirabel, and Bell Helicopter operates a commercial helicopter facility at Mirabel. In 2006,I-Parks Creative Industries plans were to create a big amusement park inside old Mirabel airport. Since then , we don't have other update of whats going on with this project. À la fin des années 1960, l'augmentation du trafic aérien pousse le gouvernement federal à construire ce nouvel aéroport car celui de Dorval devenait trop petit pour les besoins. Le gouvernement Pierre Elliott Trudeau entreprend d'exproprier des terres, des habitations, finalement trop , 10x ce dont l'aeroport utilisera Le gouvernement provincial, qui favorisait un site sur la rive sud de Montréal devait construire les routes et chemin de fer vers Mirabel ainsi qu'entre Dorval et Mirabel. Il ne finit en fait que partiellement l'autoroute 13 entre les deux aérogares. Cette dernière se termine en effet sur l'autoroute 640, une autoroute de ceinture de la rive nord de Montréal, obligeant un détour par l'autoroute 15 pour atteindre Mirabel. Québec ne construit pas du tout la 50 vers Ottawa. Il abandonne également l'ambitieux lien par train rapide appelé TRRAMM (Transport Rapide Régional Aéroportuaire Montréal-Mirabel), car le financement conjoint avec le gouvernement fédéral ne se réalise jamais Le dernier vol avec passagers aura lieu le 31 octobre 2004 Maintenant une partie de cet aéroport est utilisé au transport de marchandise, il y a le circuiticar (http://circuiticar.com/) qui partage la piste Curieusement, l'aéroport de Dorval a été renommé Pierre Elliott Trudeau En 2006, I-Parks Creative Industries proposa de construire un énorme centre recreo-touristique avec une méga aquarium, mais jusqu'à maintenant rien n'y ait entrepris en ce sens *partiellement pris de wikipedia.org Aeroport Mirabel old pictures 8 comments Aeroport Mirabel 1 comments mirabelconstruction 0 comments mirabelconstructiontour 1 comments mirabel 0 comments gare1970 Controls Return to Main Location Page Edit this Gallery Subscribe this Gallery Background Colour Help The background colours of the boxes are as follows: a picture you've already seen / you're not logged in! a picture you haven't seen yet a picture with new comments you haven't read yet All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
