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 8, French, - Transport%20rapide%20r%C3%A9gional%20a%C3%A9roportuaire%20Montr%C3%A9al%2DMirabel
