MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Oct. 27, 2015) - Aéroports de Montréal (ADM) is pleased to announce the new air services that will be available this coming winter out of Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.

Overall, travellers will benefit from an unmatched choice of winter flight options starting in November, especially for sun destinations. Fully 44 Caribbean, Mexican and Central American centres will be accessible by direct flight from Montréal.
