Panel discussion: The importance of signage and wayfinding in the passenger journey

19 Mar 2026
Barrier-free and inclusive travel
As YUL Montréal-Trudeau International Airport undergoes major capital improvements, passengers continue to expect seamless, stress-free mobility. Clear, intuitive signage is essential to sustain passenger confidence, operational continuity and commercial success. Without effective wayfinding systems, confusion can quickly escalate into a poor customer experience. Well-designed directions significantly reduce frustration and cognitive load, which is critical for travelers unfamiliar with the environment or operating under time pressure. Signage and wayfinding are foundational design elements of airport infrastructure, guiding movement and ensuring safety. Their importance is amplified during disruptive transformations, particularly for individuals with accessibility needs and diverse cultural backgrounds.
  • Positive passenger journey: Clear, intuitive directions help travelers navigate complex airport environments confidently, even during disruptions
  • Support seamless mobility: By minimizing confusion and stress, travelers can navigate complex airport environments with confidence and efficiency
  • Sustains commercial success: When passengers move efficiently through retail areas, dwell time is increased, encouraging business and driving revenue
  • Operational continuity: Maintaining order and predictability reduces bottlenecks, allowing systems to function efficiently even during peak periods
  • Brand identity: Consistent design creates a cohesive experience that strengthens recognition and trust, reflecting style and commitment to service
