Community involvement

Premium Kids program

Together with Autisme Montréal, Giant Steps-Montréal and airport community partners, including Air Transat, Aéroports de Montréal organized a day for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their families to familiarize themselves with the airport. The main goal of the Premium Kids program is to give the children an opportunity to become acquainted with the various airport procedures and processes and to allow ADM to check its facilities for special needs passengers. Premium Kids is an annual event.
