Overview

  • Canadian Aéroports de Montréal (ADM) donated about 100 check-in counters, mechanical scales, some 2,000 luggage trolleys, and more than 500 seats to the Cap-Haitien Airport. The equipment from the former airport terminal building at Mirabel, closed in 2004, is heading to Haiti through Miami.

    “With this donation, we are hoping to contribute to enhancing the Republic of Haiti’s airports system, which will in turn help the country’s tourism industry,” said ADM President and Chief Executive Officer James Cherry.

    This is a first delivery of airport equipment for the country. More Haitian airports may also receive other equipment from the former Mirabel terminal.

    Aéroports de Montréal is the local airport authority that has been responsible for the management, operation, and development of Montréal–Trudeau and Montréal–Mirabel international airports since 1992.
