Live CamThis camera looks out over Montreal-Trudeau International Airport, known to pilots and controllers by its code CYUL, with a view lined up on runway 24L. It is a plane spotter's window into one of Canada's busiest gateways, where transatlantic widebodies, regional turboprops and cargo flights share the same strip of concrete around the clock.
Why Montreal-Trudeau? Trudeau is the main international door to Quebec, and the traffic mix reflects that. European long haul flights arrive in the morning, domestic and US shuttles fill the middle of the day, and the airport sits close enough to the city that approaches pass over neighbourhoods rather than empty land. Winter adds another layer, with de-icing, snow clearing and low grey skies changing the whole scene.
Montreal-Trudeau International Airport highlights: As you enjoy the live view, be sure to look out for:
- Runway 24L Arrivals: Watch aircraft settle onto the centreline, touch down and spool up the reversers on the runway this camera is framed against.
- Transatlantic Widebodies: Larger jets bound for Europe and beyond stand out clearly among the regional traffic that makes up much of the daily movement.
- Quebec Winter Operations: In the cold months, look for snow banks along the taxiways, spray from wet runways and crews working between departures.
Beyond the Runway: The airport sits in Dorval, on the western side of the Island of Montreal, a short run from downtown. Passengers who land here are within easy reach of Old Montreal, Mount Royal and the Plateau, and the city sits on the doorstep of the Laurentians and the Saint Lawrence valley.
Thanks to the operator who keeps this camera pointed at runway 24L and streaming without a break. Airfield views take real effort to maintain, and sharing one publicly lets aviation fans, nervous flyers and curious travellers watch Montreal's gateway from anywhere.
Tune in and watch the arrivals line up on 24L, whether it is a bright summer afternoon or a snowy Quebec night at one of Canada's busiest airports.
