<p class="blog-para "><strong>Inside the airport terminal</strong></p>
<p class="blog-para ">The airport was established in 1939, a year after the closure of the A&eacute;rodrome Saint-Louis. First established as a training facility for air observers, the first flight occurred on September 11, 1941.</p>
<p class="blog-para ">First known as the A&eacute;roport de l'Ancienne Lorette, then the A&eacute;roport de Sainte-Foy, and later the A&eacute;roport de Qu&eacute;bec, it was renamed to A&eacute;roport international Jean-Lesage in 1993, in honour of Jean Lesage, the former Premier of Quebec.</p>
<p class="blog-para ">The airport is managed and operated by A&eacute;roport de Qu&eacute;bec inc., a non-profit and non-share corporation. The current terminal building has a capacity of 1.4 million passengers annually.</p>
<p class="blog-para ">Beginning in 2006, with a budget of $65.8 million, Qu&eacute;bec/Jean Lesage International Airport underwent a modernization designed to increase the terminal's capacity and substantially enhance the level of passenger service. The modernization included a reconfiguration of the terminal on two levels, a restructuring of the baggage handling area and arrivals area, as well as a reconfiguration and enlargement of the waiting rooms. Fifty-four percent of the financing was provided directly by A&eacute;roport de Qu&eacute;bec inc. Completed in June 2008, the new configuration of the airport now enables it to handle 1.4 million passengers a year.</p>

<p class="blog-para">The remains of the ramparts surrounding the Old Quebec town aside from being the only fortified city walls that remains in North America, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985 as part of the Historic District of Old Quebec.</p>
