Toronto Pearson Traffic Summary[5]

Toronto Pearson International Airport[a] (IATA: YYZ, ICAO: CYYZ) is an international airport located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.[6] It is the main airport serving Toronto, its metropolitan area, and the surrounding region known as the Golden Horseshoe. Pearson is the largest and busiest airport in Canada, handling 46.8 million passengers in 2024.[7] It is named in honour of Lester B. Pearson (1897–1972), the 14th Prime Minister of Canada and 1957 Nobel Peace Prize laureate for his humanitarian work in peacekeeping.[8]

Pearson International Airport is situated 25 kilometres (16 mi) northwest of downtown Toronto in the adjacent city of Mississauga, with a small portion of the airfield extending into Toronto's western district of Etobicoke.[9] It has five runways and two passenger terminals along with numerous cargo, maintenance, and aerospace production facilities on a site that covers 1,867 hectares (4,613 acres).[10]

Toronto Pearson is the primary global hub for Air Canada.[11] It also serves as a hub for Porter Airlines and WestJet, as a focus city for Air Transat, and a base of operations for Flair Airlines.[12] Pearson is operated by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) as part of Transport Canada's National Airports System and is supported by around 50,000 workers.[13] The airport maintains facilities for United States border preclearance.[14]

An extensive network of non-stop domestic flights is operated from Toronto Pearson by several airlines to all major and many secondary cities across all provinces and territories of Canada.[15] As of 2025, more than 50 airlines operate non-stop or direct flights from Pearson to more than 180 destinations across all six inhabited continents.[16][17]

## History

[edit]

Main article: History of Toronto Pearson International Airport

In 1937, the Government of Canada agreed to support the building of two airports in the Toronto area. One site selected was on the Toronto Islands, which is the present-day Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. The other site selected was an area northwest of Toronto near the town of Malton in what was then Toronto Township (which would later become Mississauga to avoid confusion with the nearby city of Toronto), which was originally intended to serve as an alternate to the downtown airport but instead would become its successor due to having a much larger space without being constrained by Lake Ontario and Toronto Inner Harbour.[18] The first scheduled passenger flight at the Malton Airport was a Trans-Canada Air Lines DC-3 that landed on August 29, 1939.[19]

During the Second World War, the Royal Canadian Air Force established a base at the airport as a component of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. RCAF Station Malton was home to several training schools and was in operation between 1940 and 1946.[20]

In 1958, the municipal government of Toronto sold the Malton Airport to the Government of Canada, which subsequently renamed the facility to Toronto International Airport, under the management of Transport Canada.[21] The airport was officially renamed Lester B. Pearson International Airport on January 2, 1984, in honour of Toronto-born Lester B. Pearson, the 14th prime minister of Canada and recipient of the 1957 Nobel Peace Prize.[22] The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) assumed management, operation, and control of the airport in 1996, and has used the name Toronto Pearson International Airport for the facility since the transition.[23]

Since Toronto has more than one airport, YTO is used for the area designation, while Pearson is coded YYZ, Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport is YTZ and Toronto/Buttonville Municipal Airport in Markham, until its closure on November 24, 2023, was YKZ. YZ was the code for the station in Malton, Ontario, where Pearson Airport is located and hence the IATA code for Pearson Airport is YYZ. The telegraph station in Toronto itself was coded TZ, which is why Toronto's smaller Billy Bishop Airport is coded YTZ.[24]

## Terminals

[edit]

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 former Terminal 2 was permanently closed and demolished in 2008 to make way for the expansion of the current Terminal 1.[25]

### Terminal 1

[edit]

Terminal 1 is a 346,000-square-metre (3,724,000 sq ft) facility with 58 gates.[26] It was designed by a joint venture known as Airports Architects Canada made up of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, Adamson Associates Architects, and Moshe Safdie and Associates.[27] The terminal opened in 2004, replacing the former Aeroquay One (also referred to by its retronym: the original Terminal 1).[27]

Terminal 1 is used by Air Canada, its subsidiaries, all Star Alliance airlines, Oneworld member Royal Air Maroc, and non-alliance airlines Air North, Emirates and Etihad Airways.[28] It features three concourses (D, E and F) with Concourse D used for domestic flights, Concourse E used for international flights, and Concourse F used for transborder flights to the United States. Concourse F is a US border preclearance area and is separated airside from the other two Concourses.[29] Two of the gates at Terminal 1 (E73 and E75) are designed to accommodate the Airbus A380.[30]

Check-in lobby for Terminal 1

Along with the standard customs and immigration facilities, Terminal 1 contains special customs "B" checkpoints along the international arrivals walkway. Passengers connecting from an international or trans-border arrival to another international (non-U.S.) departure in Terminal 1 go to one of these checkpoints for passport control and immigration checks, then are immediately directed to Pier E for departure. This alleviates the need to recheck bags, pass through security screening, and relieves congestion in the primary customs hall.[31] International-to-domestic passengers use the same corridor and a bus for one-stop security procedures, which avoids having to re-clear security if coming from another country with a mutual agreement.[32]

The terminal has a total of eight lounges, with five of the lounges being Air Canada–operated lounges (three Maple Leaf Lounges, one Maple Leaf Express Lounge and one Signature Suite) and three being Plaza Premium operated. Both Air Canada and Plaza Premium have lounges in the Domestic, International and Transborder zones, with the Signature Suite being in the International Zone.[33][34] Air Canada also operates the Air Canada Cafe in the Domestic departures zone.[35]

An eight-level parking garage with 8,400 public parking spaces (including 700 rental car spaces)[36] across from Terminal 1 is connected to the terminal by several elevated and enclosed pedestrian walkways.[36]

### Terminal 3

[edit]

Terminal 3 is a 178,000-square-metre (1,916,000 sq ft) facility with 46 gates, designed by B+H Architects and Scott Associates Architects Inc.[37] It opened in 1991 and was a major hub for Canadian Airlines (defunct since 2001) at that time.[38]

Departure level of Terminal 3

Terminal 3 is used by most Oneworld airlines with the exception of Royal Air Maroc which uses Terminal 1 and all SkyTeam airlines, along with Air Transat, Flair Airlines, Porter Airlines, WestJet, and all other non-alliance airlines at Pearson with the exception of Air North, Emirates and Etihad Airways which use Terminal 1.[28] Terminal 3 has three concourses (A,B,C).[39] Concourse A is used for transborder flights to the United States and is a United States border preclearance zone and is separated from the other two concourses. Concourses B and C are connected airside, and gates within them may be used interchangeably for domestic and international flights.[29]

The terminal has a total of five lounges. Three Plaza Premium lounges are located in each of the concourses, an Air France/KLM Lounge in the international departure area of Concourse C, and an American Airlines Admirals Club in Concourse A. A five-level parking garage with 3,800 public parking spaces (including 600 rental car spaces)[26] is located directly across from the terminal along with Sheraton Hotel, both of which are connected to Terminal 3 by an elevated pedestrian walkway.[21][40]

A third public terminal, the Infield Concourse (IFC), currently acts as an extension of Terminal 3 providing additional bridged gates. Passengers on flights arriving or departing from gates at the Infield Terminal are transported by bus to/from Terminal 3.[41]

### Infield Concourse

[edit]

The Infield Concourse (IFC) was originally built to handle traffic displaced during the development and construction of the current Terminal 1.[42] Its 11 gates were opened gradually throughout 2002 and 2003,[43] and a business lounge was opened in 2005.[44][43] In 2009, the Infield Concourse was closed for regular operations in conjunction with the official opening of the newly constructed Terminal 1. However, the GTAA retained plans to reactivate the IFC for regular operations whenever necessary to accommodate seasonal or overflow demand.

The terminal was substantially renovated in late 2015 to serve as a dedicated terminal for incoming government-sponsored refugees of the Syrian civil war.[45] Further renovations were completed at the Infield Concourse in early 2018 and on June 5, 2018, the terminal was reactivated for summer operations by the GTAA to act as an extension of Terminal 3 with the purpose of providing required additional bridged gates. Passengers are transported by bus between Terminal 3 and the IFC.[41]

The Infield Concourse has been frequently used as a location to film major motion pictures and television productions.[46]

### VIP Terminal

[edit]

Skyservice FBO operates an 800-square-metre (8,611 sq ft) private VIP terminal at Toronto Pearson on Midfield Road in the infield area of the airport.[47][48] The terminal handles most private aircraft arriving and departing at Toronto Pearson, providing passenger services that include a 24/7 concierge, private customs and immigration facilities, personalized catering, showers, direct handling of baggage, and VIP ground transportation services.[47][49]

Toronto Pearson has five runways, three of which are aligned in the east–west direction, and two in the north–south direction. A large network of taxiways, collectively measuring over 40 km (25 mi) in length,[50] provides access between the runways and the passenger terminals, air cargo areas, and airline hangar areas.[51]

### Airfield operations

[edit]

Toronto Pearson is home to the Toronto Area Control Centre, one of seven area control centres in Canada operated by Nav Canada. The airport uses a Traffic Management Unit (TMU), located in the apron control tower at Terminal 1, to control the movement of aircraft and other airport traffic on the ground.[52] The main air traffic control tower at Toronto Pearson is located within the infield operations area of the airport.

The airfield maintenance unit is responsible for general maintenance and repairs at Toronto Pearson.[53] During the winter months, the unit expands into a dedicated 24-hour snow removal team of more than 200 workers tasked with ensuring normal operations at the airport, as Toronto Pearson regularly experiences 110 to 130 centimetres (43 to 51 in) of total snow accumulation in a typical winter season.[54][55] The airport employs over 94 pieces of snow removal equipment, including 11 Vammas PSB series,[56] four Oshkosh Corporation Snow Products HT-Series[57] snowplow units, and 14 snowmelters.[58]

Pearson Airport's Central De-icing Facility is the largest in the world, servicing over 10,500 aircraft each winter.[58] The six de-icing bays, covering a total area of 24 hectares (60 acres), can handle 12 aircraft simultaneously and take between 2 and 19 minutes to de-ice each aircraft dependent on factors such as active weather and aircraft specifications.[59][54]

The Toronto Pearson Fire and Emergency Services, operated by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) maintains three stations at the airport; one to the north, one to the south, and one offsite to the east, with more than 80 firefighters providing fire and rescue operations at Toronto Pearson.[60] They are equipped with six crash tenders as well as several pumpers, aerial ladders, and heavy rescue units.[60] The Toronto Pearson Fire and Emergency Services operates in conjunction with the Fire and Emergency Services Training Institute (FESTI), located at the northwest end of the airport grounds.[61]

### Cargo facilities

[edit]

Toronto Pearson handles approximately half of all the international air cargo in Canada.[62] The airport has three main cargo facilities, known as Cargo West (Infield), Cargo East (VISTA), and Cargo North (FedEx).[63]

The Cargo West facility (also known as the Infield Cargo Area) is located between runways 15L/33R and 15R/33L. It is a multi-tenant facility including three large buildings with 52,600 square metres (566,000 sq ft) of warehouse space, a common use cargo apron, vehicle parking, and a truck maneuvering area. A four-lane vehicle tunnel connects the Infield Cargo Area to the passenger terminal area of the airport.[64]

The Cargo East facility (also known as the VISTA cargo area) is located north of Terminal 3. The VISTA cargo area is a multi-tenant facility of several buildings organized in a U-shape, with 29,500 square metres (318,000 sq ft) of warehouse space and an adjacent common-use cargo apron.[64]

The Cargo North facility is the Canadian hub for FedEx Express. The site occupies an area on the north side of the airport near runway 05/23 and is home to two buildings operated exclusively by FedEx with 32,100 square metres (346,000 sq ft) of warehouse space and a dedicated cargo apron.[64]

### Security

[edit]

The Peel Regional Police is the primary law enforcement agency at Pearson Airport.[65] The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) also maintain a Toronto Airport Detachment at Pearson Airport, which provides federal law enforcement services.[66]

The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) is responsible for security screening procedures at Pearson Airport. Other government agencies with security operations at Pearson include the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), and Transport Canada. In addition, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) from the United States also conduct operations at the airport to facilitate United States border preclearance.[67]

### Other facilities

[edit]

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.[64] At the north end of the airfield are numerous independently operated hangars for charter aircraft and personal private aircraft based at Pearson Airport, along with passenger and maintenance facilities to service them.[68]

The Greater Toronto Airports Authority maintains administrative offices on Convair Drive, near the southeast corner of the airfield. Gate Gourmet and CLS Catering Services both operate dedicated flight kitchen facilities at Pearson Airport for airline catering services.[64] Aviation fuel is supplied by Esso Avitat (Jet A-1) and Shell Aerocentre (Jet A and A-1), both located in the infield operations area of the airport.[64]

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.

Bombardier Aviation's Bombardier Global Express business jet final assembly is completed at the Bombardier Aerospace Campus located on the north side of the airfield.[69]

The Union Pearson Express (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.[167] 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.[168] Union Station offers connections to numerous GO Transit regional rail and bus services as well as inter-city rail links on Via Rail's Quebec City–Windsor Corridor. Combined UP Express and inter-city tickets may be purchased from Via Rail.[169][170] The UP Express operates daily between 5:27 am and 12:57 am of the next calendar day.[171]

#### Terminal Link

[edit]

The Terminal Link (formerly the Link Train) is an automated people mover that facilitates inter-terminal transportation at Pearson Airport. It runs between Terminal 1, Terminal 3, and Toronto Pearson Viscount station located at the Viscount Value Park Lot, connecting directly to the airport terminals at Toronto Pearson Terminal 1 station and Toronto Pearson Terminal 3 station.[172] The Terminal Link train operates daily, 24-hour service with trains departing all stations every 4 to 8 minutes.[173]

### Bus

[edit]

#### Public transit

[edit]

Blue Night Network Toronto Transit Commission bus at Terminal 1 in 2018

Several public transit bus services operate bus routes to Toronto Pearson International Airport. Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates daily, 24-hour public transit bus service from Pearson Airport to various subway stations in Toronto, with route 900 Airport Express being the main express bus service to the airport from Kipling station on Line 2 Bloor–Danforth of the Toronto subway,[174] and route 52 Lawrence West / 352 Lawrence West Night / 952 Lawrence West Express operate service along Lawrence Avenue to Lawrence and Lawrence West stations on the subway's Line 1 Yonge–University.[175][176] Additionally, route 900 Airport Express buses have a unique airport-themed livery and luggage racks. The TTC Blue Night Network operates local night bus routes to Warden Avenue in Toronto's east end via Bloor Street and Danforth Avenue,[177] Eglinton station via Eglinton Avenue[178] and Sunnybrook Hospital.[179] Although the airport terminals are situated outside of the Toronto city limits, TTC bus services at Pearson Airport do not require a supplementary fare.[180] TTC buses serve both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3.

Two public transit operators based in Peel Region also operate routes to the airport: Brampton Transit and MiWay. Brampton Transit operates all-day public transit bus service from Pearson Airport to the city of Brampton, with express service operating to Bramalea Terminal.[181] Brampton Transit buses arrive and depart from Terminal 1. MiWay operates all-day public transit bus service from Pearson Airport to the city of Mississauga, with express service to City Centre Transit Terminal, Humber College,[182] and Winston Churchill Transitway Station,[183] and local routes to Westwood Square Terminal,[184] Renforth station,[185] and Meadowvale Town Centre Terminal.[186] MiWay buses arrive and depart from Terminal 1, Terminal 3, Toronto Pearson Viscount station, and the infield operations area of the airport.

GO Transit bus outside Terminal 1, providing coach service to areas across the Greater Toronto Area

GO Transit operates two 24-hour bus routes from the airport to cities across the Greater Toronto Area: route 40 to Richmond Hill Terminal and Hamilton GO Centre[187] and route 94 to Pickering GO Station and Square One Bus Terminal.[188] GO Transit coaches arrive and depart from Terminal 1.

#### Private

[edit]

The airport is served by several long-distance coach, van and minibus shuttle operators, which provide transportation from the airport to various municipalities and regional airports throughout Southern Ontario and to select cities and towns in the U.S. states of New York and Michigan.[189]

Coach Canada's Megabus service provides bus service between Pearson Airport and Hamilton International Airport to the west as well as between Pearson Airport and destinations east of Toronto, such as Port Hope, Trenton, Belleville, Napanee, Kingston, and Cornwall.[190]

### Car

[edit]

The roadway exiting the airport provides access to several 400-series freeways at a spaghetti junction.

Toronto Pearson is directly accessible from Highway 427 and Highway 409 with Airport Road and Dixon Road providing local access to the airport. There are 12,200 parking spaces available in parking garages adjacent to Terminal 1 and Terminal 3,[26] in addition to several other parking lots located in the immediate area.[191]

Car rentals are available from various major car rental agencies located in the parking garages adjacent to both terminals.[192] Car rentals are also available from off-airport car rental agencies located near Toronto Pearson Viscount station, accessible from both terminals via the Terminal Link.[192]

#### Taxi

[edit]

Taxis and limousines can be accessed at designated taxi stands located outside of both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. Only official airport-licensed taxis and limousines can legally pick up passengers at Toronto Pearson,[193] and all airport-licensed taxi and limo companies use GTAA-authorized flat rate fares for travel from the airport.[194][195][196]

#### Rideshare

[edit]

Ridesharing services Uber and Lyft are available at Pearson Airport. Designated rideshare pickup zones are located at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. Terminal 1 pickup is from the ground level, while Terminal 3 pickup is from the arrivals level.[197]

### Future

[edit]

In February 2017, the GTAA announced a proposed transit hub to be located across from Terminal 3 that would connect with Union Pearson Express and may connect with other transit lines extended to the airport like Line 5 Eglinton LRT of the Toronto subway and GO Expansion (formerly known as GO Transit Regional Express Rail).[198] This proposal would eliminate the Terminal Link connecting Terminals 1 and 3 with a bridge from the transit hub to Terminal 3 and another bridge connecting Terminal 3 to Terminal 1.[198]

Since 2020, Metrolinx is planning the second phase of the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension, which is a western extension of the under-construction Line 5 Eglinton to a proposed transit hub at Pearson Airport across the terminals at the site of Viscount Station. The extension is scheduled to open in 2030–31. As of 2020, the segment of the extension to Pearson Airport is under study by Metrolinx and the GTAA. The line will connect the airport to Midtown Toronto and Scarborough with additional transfers to downtown Toronto.[199] Metrolinx is also studying a potential connection with Line 6 Finch West to the transit hub with additional transfers on Line 1 Yonge-University to York University and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. Other connections like the Mississauga Transitway, which would connect the airport to Mississauga City Centre, are being studied.[200]

Notes

* ^c : Prior to 2021, a distinction was made for operational and statistical purposes between "transborder" and "international" flights at Toronto Pearson, and at any other airport in Canada with United States border preclearance. A "transborder" flight was a flight between Canada and a destination in the United States, while an "international" flight was a flight between Canada and a destination that is not within the United States or Canada. A "domestic" flight is defined as a flight within Canada's borders only.
* ^d : As of 2021, "transborder" and "international" passenger statistics have been combined by the GTAA as "international".

## Incidents and accidents

[edit]

The overturned wreckage of Delta Connection Flight 4819 on the runway in 2025.

* The airport's deadliest accident occurred on July 5, 1970, when Air Canada Flight 621, a DC-8 jet, flew on a Montreal–Toronto–Los Angeles route. The pilots inadvertently deployed spoilers before the plane attempted landing, forcing the pilots to abort landing and takeoff. Damage to the aircraft that was caused during the failed landing attempt caused the plane to break up in the air during the go-around, killing all 100 passengers and nine crew members on board when it crashed into a field southeast of Brampton. Controversy remains over the cleanup effort following the crash, as both plane wreckage debris and human remains from the crash are still[when?] found on the site.[210]
* On June 26, 1978, Air Canada Flight 189 to Winnipeg overran the runway during an aborted takeoff, and crashed into the Etobicoke Creek ravine. Two of the 107 occupants on board the DC-9 were killed.
* On July 9, 1981, a KF Cargo Howard 500, pitched nose up after takeoff, stalled and crashed due to improper loading of parcels, exceeding the centre of gravity. All three crew were killed.[211]
* On January 11, 1983, a Sun Oil Co. North American Sabreliner crashed approximately 8 miles from runway 24R on an ILS approach to YYZ after descending steeply from the clouds and losing control, before crashing to the ground. All two crew and three passengers died. Cause unknown.[212]
* On June 22, 1983, Douglas C-47A C-GUBT of Skycraft Air Transport crashed on takeoff roll at Toronto International Airport while on an international cargo flight from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in northeastern Ohio. Both of the crew members were killed.[213]
* On September 2, 1995, a Royal Air Force Hawker Siddeley Nimrod performing in an airshow originating in and out of YYZ crashed half a mile south of Toronto City Centre Airport after a maneuver caused the aircraft to stall and crash into Lake Ontario. All seven occupants perished.[214]
* On August 2, 2005, Air France Flight 358, an Airbus A340-300 (registration F-GLZQ) inbound from Paris, landed on runway 24L during a severe thunderstorm, failed to stop, and ran off of the runway into the Etobicoke Creek ravine. It came to a stop next to busy Highway 401. In the ensuing fire, there were 12 serious injuries, but no fatalities. The investigation predominantly blamed pilot error when faced with severe weather conditions.[215]
* On July 25, 2014, Sunwing Airlines Flight 772, which had taken off from Toronto bound for Scarlett Martínez International Airport, in Río Hato, Panama, was forced to return to Toronto after a passenger made a bomb threat; the plane was escorted back to Toronto by US Air Force planes. After it landed safely, the passenger was arrested and underwent a mental examination.[216]
* On January 5, 2018, WestJet Flight 434, a 737-800, was struck by an inactive Sunwing aircraft, also a 737-800, being towed from the terminal. The plane caught fire and pilots ordered an evacuation. No serious injuries were reported. The Sunwing aircraft suffered significant damage.[217]
* On May 10, 2019, Air Canada Flight 8615, a Bombardier DHC-8-300 (registration C-FJXZ), was struck by a fuel truck while taxiing on the tarmac. Five persons were injured and the plane was deemed a write-off.[218]
* On March 7, 2020, two Air Canada aircraft were involved in a runway incursion. Air Canada Flight 1037, an Embraer E-190 (registration C-FMZW) was taking off from Runway 06L at Toronto when the takeoff was rejected due to a bird strike. An improper transponder showed the tower controller that the E-190 was airborne after 50 knots (93 km/h; 58 mph), and, therefore, sent an Air Canada Boeing 777-300 (registration C-FJZS), operating as Air Canada Flight 606, to depart. The pilots of the E-190 were transmitting on frequency that they had rejected their takeoff due to a birdstrike, but at the same time, the pilots of the 777 were reading back their takeoff clearance. As the 777 was accelerating, the pilots observed the Embraer-190 was still on the runway, and initiated a rejected takeoff. A Nav Canada report stated that the use of this data by NAV Canada's runway incursion monitoring and conflict alert sub-system (RIMCAS) led to the inaccurate identification of the Embraer 190 and the Boeing 777 as in the air while these two aircraft were still on the ground. This resulted in late and inaccurate RIMCAS alerts and delayed the air traffic controller's response to the risk of collision.[219]
* On April 17, 2023, a robbery occurred, with over $20 million worth of gold and other high-value items being stolen. A container was offloaded from a reported Air Canada aircraft during the evening hours and was unloaded under normal procedures. The cargo was taken to a holding facility before it was stolen. The goods were being handled by American private security and protection company Brink's.
* On January 8, 2024, a man having a mental crisis boarded a Boeing 777 operated by Air Canada, and during the boarding process, tried to open the door of the plane, resulting in him falling down onto the tarmac. He was injured and arrested.[220]
* On January 21, 2024, Air France Flight 356, an Airbus A350-900 (registration F-HTYH) initiated a go-around after touching down on runway 24L, suffering a tailstrike in the process. After circling around for a second attempt, the aircraft landed on the same runway without further incident. No injuries were reported but the aircraft received significant damage. This was due to a landing rate warning, meaning too much speed and not enough runway left to safely stop the aircraft.[221][222][223]
* On February 17, 2025, Delta Connection Flight 4819, a Bombardier CRJ-900LR operated by Endeavor Air (registration N932XJ), crashed and flipped upside down while attempting to land on runway 23, injuring at least 21 of the 80 occupants aboard. The preliminary report indicates the rate of descent was -1100fpm and the First Officer was PIC. 1.6 seconds to impact, the landing rate decreased to -1072fpm.[224][225][226]
* On April 24, 2025, a man who locked himself in an SUV at the Terminal 1 departures level was shot dead by police after he appeared to produce a firearm.[227]

## In popular culture

[edit]

The music video for the song "The Good in Everyone" by Canadian rock band Sloan was filmed on Convair Drive at the southwest end of runway 06L/24R at 43°39′35.2″N 79°37′31.1″W﻿ / ﻿43.659778°N 79.625306°W﻿ / 43.659778; -79.625306.

In 1987, Pink Floyd used a hangar at the airport for rehearsals for their A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour.

### Rush

[edit]

Canadian rock trio Rush had an instrumental piece titled "YYZ," which is on their 1981 album Moving Pictures. Two of the band's members, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, are natives of Toronto. The song, often requested by fans, was frequently played by the band in concert.

A VHF omnidirectional range system at the airport broadcasts the YYZ identifier code in Morse code, which the band once heard when Lifeson was flying them into the airport. The band's drummer, Neil Peart, said in interviews that the rhythm stuck with them.[228] Peart and Lee have both said, "It's always a happy day when YYZ appears on our luggage tags."[229]

The piece's introduction repeatedly renders "Y-Y-Z" in Morse code using various musical arrangements.[230]

In 2023, a Rush-themed specialty bar opened in the airport's Terminal 1 near the 7-Eleven. The bar, Henderson Brewing@YYZ, is run by craft brewery Henderson Brewery, based at the southern end of Junction Triangle in Toronto.[231]
