#1 Mirabel is NOT an unused, cargo-only airport.

#2 I stand corrected. I thought it was closed. Still, according to their website, seems only one airline is using it.

#3 Mirabel was a white elephant built 40mi north of Montreal. Passengers and airlines never liked it and always preferred local Dorval (recently named Pierre E Trudeau International) despite government attempts to force people to use it. They have basically given up, as the name change at Dorval indicates.
