The link to the airport should be open in 2021/2022 (the REM will go there). As for the West Island, it will also have REM service, but keep in mind that it only has a population of 350K people spread over a large area (vs a 4.3M population for Greater Montreal). Other dense and more populated areas also lack service, like Montréal-Nord, Rivière-des-Prairies, Pointe-aux-Trembles, Anjou, St-Léonard, and many other areas off-island.
