Countries / Canada / Airport / Toronto Pearson Airport

Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) is Canada’s largest airport in terms of total passenger traffic and North America’s second-largest in terms of international traffic. It is located in Mississauga, Ontario. It is the main airport serving Toronto, its metropolitan area, and the surrounding region known as the Golden Horseshoe. With daily non-stop flights to many of the world’s economies, it moves people and goods across the country, the continent and around the globe.

Toronto Pearson International Airport has two active public terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. Both terminals are designed to handle all three sectors of travel (domestic, transborder, and international), which results in terminal operations at Toronto Pearson being grouped for airlines and airline alliances, rather than for domestic and international routes. 
The airport features a VIP Terminal operated by Skyservice FBO. Located on Midfield Road in the infield area of Toronto Pearson, this private terminal caters to most private aircraft arriving and departing from the airport. Services include 24/7 concierge support, private customs and immigration facilities, personalized catering, showers, direct baggage handling, and VIP ground transportation.

Toronto Pearson handles approximately half of all the international air cargo in Canada. The airport has three main cargo facilities, known as Cargo West (Infield), Cargo East (VISTA), and Cargo North (FedEx). FedEx has a large distribution centre on the north side of the airfield connected with multiple large jet parking bays and logistics handling facilities for servicing the Greater Toronto Area.

Pearson Airport has seven aircraft maintenance hangars, operated by Air Canada, Air Transat, WestJet, and the GTAA, which are used for line maintenance and routine aircraft inspections.

Bombardier Aviation's Bombardier Global Express business jet final assembly has been completed at the factory located on the north side of Toronto Pearson since 2023.

The UP Express is an airport rail link running between Pearson Airport and Union Station in Downtown Toronto, with intermediate stops at Weston and Bloor GO Train stations. Trains depart every 15 minutes from Toronto Pearson Terminal 1 station and provide a 25-minute travel time to Union Station, the busiest intermodal transportation facility in Canada.

Several public transit bus services operate bus routes to Toronto Pearson International Airport. Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a daily, 24-hour public transit bus service from Pearson Airport to various subway stations in Toronto

The main goal of Toronto Pearson Airport is to create the airport of the future and well-positioned to make this a reality.

The airport differentiates itself by:

  • Growing sustainably
  • Ensuring reliable service
  • Fostering a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere
  • Anticipating and exceeding the needs of the passengers
  • Providing competitive costs and value to airlines and shared passengers


 Pearson Airport has a master plan for 2017-2037: Ontario’s provincial economy is growing faster than the rest of Canada’s and its population is increasing rapidly. Just as Ontario’s growth drives traffic increases at Toronto Pearson, the airport in turn acts as a major engine of the province’s growth. As much as the airport focused on preparing for growth globally, the airport's team also understood that airports are distinctly local. That’s why the company is committed to reducing the environmental footprint and being a good neighbour to the communities we serve.

 Pearson Airport focuses on building a status as an international gateway by enhancing the customer experience, prioritizing safety and security, and supporting the success of airline partners and the regional economy.
