Airplane Noise Management around Montreal-Trudeau: Transport Canada Must Take Back Control from Aeroports de Montreal and Urgently Impose a True Curfew

MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - May 1, 2014) - The "Pollués de Montréal-Trudeau" seek from Transport Canada to urgently intervene and replace Aéroports de Montréal (ADM) in its role managing airplane noise. The citizens' committee has tried, in vain, for nearly a year to obtain information regarding the content of meetings of the Airport Noise management Consultative Committee. ADM is not transparent and does not allow the population to attend this committee's meetings.

"OUR airport's management is opaque and this is unacceptable in 2014, explains Antoine Bécotte, president of "Pollués". Furthermore, these managers ignore citizens trying to obtain justifications for air traffic that continues to annoy them with low altitude flights, day or night. This is unacceptable: this airport belongs to the whole population. "
