ADM Aéroports de Montréal said it regrets that passengers at YUL Montréal-Trudeau International Airport find themselves, through no fault of their own, in the midst of a labour dispute between Swissport Canada and its employees responsible for refuelling aircrafts.

Since the announcement of a strike, ADM has spared no effort to enable Swissport Canada to rapidly deploy its contingency plan, including providing managers with access to restricted zones so that they can ensure the continuation of aircraft refuelling activities at YUL. Swissport Canada ensures that it has the necessary resources to refuel the aircrafts at YUL and YMX.

The YUL operations co-ordination centre is activated and is monitoring the situation 24 hours a day. The airport patrol and the SPVM have deployed measures to ensure security and the continuity of operations.

ADM would like to reassure passengers that operations are continuing at the airport, but that the dispute could result in delays in flight schedules. Travellers are advised, as always, to check the status of their flight before coming to the airport.
