==History==  {{Main|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.<ref name="cook">{{cite book |last=Cook |first=Dave |title=Fading History Vol. 2 |year=2010 |publisher=David L.

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.<ref name="hatch">{{cite book| last1 = Hatch| first1 = F.

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.<ref name="Masterplanintro">{{cite web |url=http://www.torontopearson.com/uploadedFiles/GTAA/Content/About_GTAA/Strategy/Master_Plan/MP%20-%20Chapter%201%20-%20Introduction.pdf |page=1.19 |title=GTAA Master Plan |access-date=September 6, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120118124156/http://www.torontopearson.com/uploadedFiles/GTAA/Content/About_GTAA/Strategy/Master_Plan/MP%20-%20Chapter%201%20-%20Introduction.pdf |archive-date=January 18, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The airport was officially renamed Lester B.

Since Toronto has more than one airport, YTO is used for the area designation. At the same time, 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.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/the-how-and-y-of-worldwide-airport-codes/article4396385/ | title=The how and Y of worldwide airport codes – The Globe and Mail | access-date=February 21, 2020 | archive-date=August 9, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200809050817/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/the-how-and-y-of-worldwide-airport-codes/article4396385/ | url-status=live }}</ref>

==Terminals== Toronto Pearson International Airport has two active public terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. Both terminals handle the three main sectors of air travel—domestic, transborder (to the United States), and international. As a result, terminal operations at Toronto Pearson are organized primarily by airline and airline alliance rather than by the type of route.

The former Terminal 2, which opened in 1972, was permanently closed and demolished in 2008 to allow for the expansion of the current Terminal 1.<ref>{{Cite web |title=History of the Airport |url=https://www.torontopearson.com/en/community/programs/history-of-the-airport |access-date=September 15, 2025 |website=Toronto Pearson International Airport}}</ref>

=== Future === 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).<ref name="Urban Toronto Multi-Modal Transit Hub">{{cite web|url=http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2017/02/gtaa-unveils-vision-multi-modal-transit-hub-pearson|title=GTAA Unveils Vision For Multi-Modal Transit Hub at Pearson – Urban Toronto|website=urbantoronto.ca|access-date=September 11, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170911205214/http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2017/02/gtaa-unveils-vision-multi-modal-transit-hub-pearson|archive-date=September 11, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> 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.<ref name="Urban Toronto Multi-Modal Transit Hub" />

Since 2020, Metrolinx has been 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 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 via Line 1 Yonge–University.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metrolinx.com/en/greaterregion/projects/eglinton-crosstown-west.aspx |title=Eglinton Crosstown West Extension – Projects |publisher=Metrolinx |date= |access-date=2021-11-30 |archive-date=March 10, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200310090152/http://www.metrolinx.com/en/greaterregion/projects/eglinton-crosstown-west.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref> 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, such as the Mississauga Transitway, which would connect the airport to Mississauga City Centre, are being studied.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.masstransitmag.com/management/news/21122940/metrolinx-gtaa-sign-costsharing-agreement-to-study-improved-transitairport-connections |title=StackPath |publisher=Masstransitmag.com |date= |access-date=2021-11-30 |archive-date=May 11, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200511233436/https://www.masstransitmag.com/management/news/21122940/metrolinx-gtaa-sign-costsharing-agreement-to-study-improved-transitairport-connections |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Accidents and incidents== [[File:DeltaCRJ900 main body 3 crash toronto.jpg|thumb|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|date=February 2023}} found on the site.<ref name="wilkes">{{cite news| last=Wilkes| first=Jim| date=July 6, 2004| url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/thestar/access/668477591.html?dids=668477591:668477591&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Jul+6%2C+2004&author=Jim+Wilkes&pub=Toronto+Star&edition=&startpage=A.01| title=Ghosts of Flight 621 haunt Brampton field| page=A1| work=Toronto Star| access-date=January 3, 2013| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103204858/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/thestar/access/668477591.html?dids=668477591:668477591&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Jul+6,+2004&author=Jim+Wilkes&pub=Toronto+Star&edition=&startpage=A.01| archive-date=November 3, 2012| url-status=dead}}</ref> * On June 26, 1978, Air Canada Flight 189 to Winnipeg overran the runway during an aborted takeoff, and crashed into the Etobicoke Creek ravine.

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 {{convert|50|kn|link=in}}, 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 a 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 that 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.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-06-14 |title=C-TSB Final Report A20O0029 March 7 2020 |url=https://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/aviation/2020/A20O0029/A20O0029.html |access-date=2022-03-14 |website=TSBC}}</ref> * On April 17, 2023, a robbery occurred, with over $20 million worth of gold and other high-value items being stolen.

=== Rush === 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 as an encore.

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.<ref>{{cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ht8_3WYWzo |title=Rush: Classic Albums: 2112 & Moving Pictures |publisher=Eagle Rock Entertainment |year=2010 |time=122 minutes |format=DVD |people=Martin Smith}}</ref> Peart and Lee have both said, "It's always a happy day when YYZ appears on our luggage tags."<ref>{{cite web |title=Rush by Brian Harrigan from Power Windows |url=http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/harriganrush.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20040617151730/http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/HarriganRush.htm |archive-date=2004-06-17 |access-date=2011-09-29 |publisher=2112.net}}</ref>
