Summer Outing
Airport Photography
Tuesday July 5th! at 1:00 p.m.
On May 25, 2012, Aéroports de Montréal (ADM) officially opened its brand new Jacques-de-Lesseps Park, a green space designed especially to provide aviation enthusiasts with one of the best possible vantage points of the runways of Montréal–the Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. ADM employees, along with representatives of the Airport Watch Association, the City of Dorval and Bell, proud partner of the park, joined Christiane Beaulieu, ADM’s Vice President, Public Affairs and Communications, to mark the occasion.
We will be taking photos of aircraft taking off from this location.
