In any designation, "Montréal" is always written with an accent, the form being the only one registered in the Incorporation Act of the city. The French designation was the official form, the English one being used in current language. The names of the cities of Montréal and of Mirabel (always in this order) are hyphenated to establish the link between the two ends of the transit-to-be. 1, record 1, English, - Transport%20rapide%20r%C3%A9gional%20a%C3%A9roportuaire%20Montr%C3%A9al%2DMirabel

Dans les plans initiaux, cet aéroport devait supplanter l'aéroport(international) de Dorval(Montréal-Dorval), maintenant l'aéroport international Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau de Montréal(Montréal-Trudeau), et devenir le principal aéroport de Montréal. Mais le système de transport rapide n’ ayant jamais vu le jour, l'aéroport situé à Dorval(l'un des arrondissements de la nouvelle ville de Montréal depuis le 1er janvier 2002) a conservé la préférence des transporteurs et des politiciens, au point où il se peut que Montréal-Mirabel, encore utilisé pour les vols nolisés, mais jusqu'à l'automne de 2004 seulement, et les transports de marchandise, devienne un éléphant blanc. 3, record 1, French, - Transport%20rapide%20r%C3%A9gional%20a%C3%A9roportuaire%20Montr%C3%A9al%2DMirabel

An airport located 55 km from downtown Montréal, officially inaugurated in 1975, and intended to become Montréal's main airport. Initially named "Mirabel International Airport," it was later designated "Montréal Airport in Mirabel" (Montréal-Mirabel) when chosen for international flights while the "Montréal Airport in Dorval" (Montréal-Dorval) was limited to domestic flights, that is flights inside Canada. But inadequate terrestrial links between Montréal and Mirabel contributed to give to the Montréal Airport in Dorval, named the "Montréal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport" (Montréal-Trudeau) since January 1, 2004, its international status, leaving the charter (up to Autumn 2004) and cargo flights to the Mirabel Airport (the most common designation for the airport). Even if the airport encountered many status changes, it never had a name that includes a comma, and had always been represented by YMX, its IATA three-letter code. 1, record 2, English, - Mirabel%20International%20Airport

Aéroport situé à 55 km du centre-ville de Montréal, officiellement inauguré en 1975, et destiné à devenir le principal aéroport de Montréal. Nommé d’abord «aéroport international de Mirabel», il a été désigné ensuite «aéroport de Montréal à Mirabel»(Montréal-Mirabel) lorsqu'il a été retenu pour les vols internationaux alors que l'«aéroport de Montréal à Dorval»(Montréal-Dorval) recevait les vols dits «domestiques», soient les vols limités au territoire canadien. Mais le manque de lien terrestre entre Montréal et Mirabel a contribué à accorder à l'aéroport de Montréal à Dorval, appelé «aéroport international Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau de Montréal»(Montréal-Trudeau) depuis le 1er janvier 2004, sa vocation internationale, laissant à l'aéroport de Mirabel(désignation la plus couramment utilisée) les vols nolisés(jusqu'à l'automne de 2004) et les vols cargo. Malgré tous ses changements de vocation, l'aéroport n’ a jamais porté de nom comprenant une virgule et a toujours été identifié par YMX, le code à trois lettres de l'IATA. 2, record 2, French, - a%C3%A9roport%20international%20de%20Mirabel

La ville de Mirabel, d’une superficie de près de 500 km2, forme à elle seule une municipalité régionale de comté et constitue la plus grande superficie aéroportuaire au monde. L’actuel territoire provient de la fusion, en 1971, de huit municipalités [...] qui forment la ville de Sainte-Scholastique, devenue Mirabel en 1973. [...] Ce nom [a été] choisi lors d’une consultation populaire tenue en 1972 pour identifier l’immense territoire formé par la réunion forcée de tous les terrains et municipalités expropriés lors de la création du nouvel aéroport international de Mirabel inauguré en 1975. [...] Récemment, le gouvernement rétrocédait aux anciens propriétaires une partie des terres acquises à cette époque. 1, record 2, French, - a%C3%A9roport%20international%20de%20Mirabel
