Of these, about <strong>20% are in transit<\/strong>, which confirmed the need to open a connection centre.\u00a0 With this new hub, YUL is solidifying its position as an international air traffic hub.<\/p>\n<p>ADM is proud to integrate <strong>sustainable development components<\/strong> into its projects, particularly in this new connection centre:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Green wall: Located close to the waiting area before the customs controls, it will help reduce stress and contribute to improving air quality for users.<\/li>\n<li>Solar wall: Located on the extreme west part of the south facade, it will harness the sun\u2019s power to heat the air and ventilate the building.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This project would not have been possible without the<strong> support of a dedicated<\/strong> <strong>team<\/strong> to provide a unique customer experience inspired by Montreal. This centre is the result of <strong>close collaboration between several stakeholders in the YUL airport community<\/strong>: CBSA, CATSA, Air Canada and Air Transat, among others, have worked closely on this project. CBSA and CATSA will be the main operators of the connection centre and have participated in validating the facilities. Airline passengers will be the users of this centre.<\/p>\n<p>The<strong> official inauguration<\/strong> was held on 9 December in the presence of the various teams and project partners.
