īeginning in 2006, with a budget of $65.8 million, Québec/Jean Lesage International Airport underwent a modernization designed to increase the terminal's capacity and substantially enhance the level of passenger service. The current terminal building has a capacity of 1.4 million passengers annually. The airport is managed and operated by Aéroport de Québec inc., a non-profit and non-share corporation. First known as the Aéroport de l' Ancienne Lorette, then the Aéroport de Sainte-Foy, and later the Aéroport de Québec, it was renamed to Aéroport international Jean-Lesage in 1993, in honour of the former Premier of Quebec, Jean Lesage. First established as a training facility for air observers, the first flight occurred on September 11, 1941. The airport was established in 1939, a year after the closure of the Aérodrome Saint-Louis.
