Usage notes
ICAO code CYUL. Long called Dorval Airport, it was renamed in 2004 for former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The government's grand Mirabel Airport (YMX), opened in 1975 to replace it, failed to attract airlines, and passenger flights returned to Dorval by 2004. The code follows the Canadian Y convention.
