Environment

Airport Carbon Accreditation

Level 4 Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport holds Airport Carbon Accreditation Level 4 (status checked October 2026), according to the programme's public list.

A certification of how the airport operator manages its own carbon emissions (levels 1–5, "+" = with offsetting). It is not a measure of how much the airport or its flights emit.

Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACI)

Partial records from the US BTS the US BTS records only the part of Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport's traffic that touches its own network. These are not Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport's busiest destinations or its overall on-time rate.

Flights recorded between Aug 1, 2025 and Jul 31, 2026, counted from flight records published by the US BTS. Not a current timetable.

Flight timing & delays

Historical departures, grouped by the scheduled local time at the departure airport. These are recorded outcomes, not a forecast for your flight.
