Mirabel Airport’s Costly Failure

The Montréal-Mirabel International Airport, where "The Terminal" movie was filmed, turned out to be a massive failure. Passenger traffic estimates were wildly inflated, highways meant to connect it to Montréal were never built, and the terminal contained asbestos insulation. It stopped receiving passengers in 2004, and the terminal was demolished in 2016.
