In 1935 the government of McKenzie King merged the Department of Railways and Canals and Department of Marine into Ministry of Transport. The act came into force November 2, 1936. In February 1935, Ottawa announced its intention to build a 'million dollar, world class airport' in Toronto. Sites under consideration included Baker Field (W of Dufferin, S of Lawrence) and the Toronto Flying Club (E of Dufferin, N of Wilson Street).<ref name="cook">{{cite book|last=Cook|first=Dave|title=Fading History Vol. 2|year=2010|publisher=David L. Cook|location=Mississauga, Ontario|isbn=978-0-9734265-3-3|pages=158}}</ref> Ultimately, the Malton location northwest of Toronto was chosen.

In April 1937 Land agents representing the [[Toronto Harbour Commission]] approached the farmers of Malton who owned Lots 6-10 on Concession 5 and 6 to acquire land for Malton Airport. The farmers were:
*Mrs. Thomas Osborne - 100 acres (Conc. 6, Lot 10) - This farm was on the SW corner of Malton "Four Corners" - Airport (6th line) and Derry Roads
*Robert H. Peacock - 100 acres (Conc. 6, Lot 9),
*Frank Chapman - 100 acres (Conc. 6, Lot 8)
*Rowland Estate - 100 acres (Conc. 6, Lot 7)
*Frank Chapman - 50 acres (Conc. 6, Lot 6)
*A. Schrieber - 100 acres (Conc. 5E, Lot 10)
*W.A. Cripps - 200 acres (Conc. 5W, Lot 10)
*Wilbur Martin - 100 acres (Conc. 5E, Lot 9)
*David J. Lammy - 150 acres (Conc. 5W, Lot 9)
*Mack Brett - 150 acres (Conc.5W, Lot 8,9)
*John H. Perry - 100 acres (Conc. 5E, Lot 8)
*Lydia Garbutt - 100 acres (Conc. 5W, Lot 8)
*John Dempster - 100 acres (Conc. 5E, Lot 7)
*Horace C. Death - 99 acres (Conc. 5E, Lot 6) - This farm was on the NE corner of Elmbank (Britannia) Road and Torbram (5th Line), closest to the Village of Elmbank.<ref name="hicks" /><ref name="cook" />

In 1937 the agreements were drawn up for a total purchase of 1410.8 acres (including 108 acres for National Steel Car and 243.73 for Department of National Defense).<ref name="cook" />

On April 15, 1938 the first aircraft landing took place. I it was an experimental flight from Winnipeg made by TCA.<ref name="cook" /> The first official landing was on August 29, 1938 by an American Airlines DC-3 from Buffalo, New York. The DC-3 touched down at 1:10 PM.<ref name="cook" /> Malton Airport officially opened in September 1938.

In February 1939 the City of Toronto announced plans to change the name of Malton Airport to Bishop Airport or King George Airport. The Malton Women's Institute formed a delegation and appeared before Toronto Township Council on March 21, 1939 to demand that Toronto Township officially object. An objection was filed and the name Malton Airport remained until October 18, 1960 when it changed to Toronto International Airport.<ref name="cook" /> ''Bishop Field Toronto Airport Malton,''<ref>{{cite news |work=Toronto Star |title=City sleuth |date=November 9, 1981 |page=A02}}</ref><ref name="airport-naming">{{cite news |work=Toronto Globe |date=April 4, 1939 |page=4 |title=Holiday May 22 to Honor King}}</ref> named for the World War I flying ace, and its location near [[Malton, Ontario|Malton]], bounded by Derry Road to the north, Airport Road (6th Line) to the east, Elmbank Side Road to the south and Torbram Road (5th Line) to the west.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.toronto.ca/archives/toronto_history_faqs.htm#pearson |title=City of Toronto Archives: Toronto history FAQs |publisher=Toronto.ca |date= |accessdate=2010-03-11}}</ref>

The Chapman farm house was the first office and terminal. The Chapman farm was part of the land assembled for the airport in Malton.<ref name="cook" /><ref name="hicks">{{cite book|last=Hicks|first=Kathleen A.|title=Malton: Farms to Flying|year=2006|publisher=Friends of the Mississauga Library System|location=Mississauga, Ontario|isbn=0-9697873-9-1|pages=133}}</ref>

The second [[airport terminal|terminal]] was built in 1938, a standard wood frame building, identical to the one at the [[Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport|Toronto Island Airport]]. The airport then covered {{convert|420|acre|km2|1}} with full lighting, radio, weather reporting equipment, two hard surface runways and one grass landing strip. The first scheduled passenger flight to Malton was a Trans-Canada Airlines DC-3 on August 29, 1939.<ref>{{cite news |work=Toronto Star |title=Malton residents say they've had enough |last=Dexter |first=Brian |date=March 16, 1974 |page=B09}}</ref>

From June 1940 to July 1942, during the Second World War, the [[British Commonwealth Air Training Plan]] (BCATP) operated No. 1 Elementary Service Flying School (EFTS).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.flightontario.com/bcatp-schools.htm |title=Flight Ontario – BCATP Schools |publisher=Flightontario.com |date= |accessdate=2011-02-19}}</ref> An [[air traffic control]] centre was added in 1942.

The June 1946 chart shows three runways: the still-visible runway intersection at {{coord|43.6868|-79.6457|display=inline}} was the west end of the 4702-foot 100/280 (magnetic) runway and the SW end of the 3935-foot 54/234 runway; the NW end of the 4000-ft 143/323 runway was midway along the 54/234 runway.

A third "TCA" terminal was built along Airport Road in 1949<ref name="hicks" /> to replace the second wood frame terminal. It could handle 400,000 passengers a year and had an observation deck on the roof. Further expansion saw the expropriation of land south of Elmbank Side Road and west past Torbram Road to Dixie Road. The airport's growth eventually erased much of the town of Elmbank. The runways were {{convert|11050|ft|abbr=on|0}} runway 5/23 (used for test flights of the [[Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow|CF-105 Arrow]] (Avro Arrow) fighter from the [[Avro Canada]] plant); 14/32, a {{convert|11475|ft|abbr=on|0}} runway (replaced by 15L/33R); and 10/28, a {{convert|7425|ft|abbr=on|0}} runway that now is a taxiway.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.torontoport.com/airport_history.asp |title=Toronto Port Authority |publisher=Torontoport.com |date= |accessdate=2010-03-11}}</ref>

The April 1957 Official Airline Guide shows three passenger airlines at Malton. Trans-Canada had 55 weekday departures and American had seven; In addition TCA had three departures a week to Prestwick/London via Montreal, five a week to Nassau, ten a week to Tampa and four a week to Bermuda. Canadian Pacific had four DC-6Bs a week to Mexico City.

In November 1958 the [[Municipal government of Toronto|City of Toronto]] sold the airport to the federal [[Transport Canada|Department of Transport]]; in 1960 it was renamed '''Toronto International Airport'''.<ref>{{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 |chapter=1.

===1960–1984===
{{Unreferenced section|date=April 2009}}

[[File:Observation deck of the TCA terminal C1962.jpg|thumb|right|This is the observation deck of the "TCA" terminal C1962. The TCA terminal was the third one at Malton Airport. It was demolished after the "Aeroquay One" terminal came on-stream in 1964. The Aeroquay One construction is visible behind.]]
[[File:International Airport Toronto 1973.jpg|thumb|A view of Toronto International Airport in 1973, showing the original Terminal 1 or Aeroquay One (now demolished)]]
The third "TCA" terminal was demolished in the late 1960s and replaced by the Terminal 1 (T1) building. The original T1 (also called Aeroquay One) had a square central structure housing ticketing and baggage facilities topped by a parking garage with about eight levels and ringed by a two-storey passenger concourse leading to the gates. It was designed by [[John B. Parkin]] and construction took place between 1957 and 1964. Aeroquay One was officially opened February 28, 1964 by Prime Minister [[Lester B. Pearson]].<ref name="hicks" />

In 1972 the [[Government of Canada|Canadian government]] expropriated land east of Toronto for a second major airport, [[Pickering Airport]], to relieve congestion at Toronto International. The project was postponed in 1975 due to public opposition, but the government still owns the land.

Considered state-of-the-art in the 1960s, Terminal 1 became overloaded by the early 1970s. Terminal 2, originally intended as a freight terminal, opened June 15, 1972. The failed development of Pickering Airport forced the airport to modify Terminal 2's plan into a two floor, 26-[[gate (airport)|gate]] passenger terminal. Initially it served only [[charter airline]]s, but it became the hub for Air Canada passenger flights on April 29, 1973. A passenger tunnel with [[moving walkway]]s at the northwest corner of Terminal 2 connected it with Terminal 1.

The site of Terminal 2 was to have been the location for the planned Aeroquays Two and Three, duplicates of the design of the original Terminal 1 (Aeroquay One), but their inefficiency in handling wide-body passenger aircraft by the late 1960s forced the airport to abandon the circular terminal concept.
[[File:Inuksuit (Toronto Pearson Airport).jpg|thumb|left|[[Inuksuk]] sculptures stand in front of the departures entrance at Terminal 1. ]]
Terminal 2 was designed for three airlines: [[American Airlines]], [[British Overseas Airways Corporation]] (BOAC), and [[Canadian Pacific Air Lines]] (CP Air). In the later development stages, it became apparent that it would not be viable in this form with the major complaints being the lack of indoor parking and the lack of windows. As American Airlines, [[British Airways]] (which BOAC became part of in 1974) and CP Air opted out of T2, Air Canada, as the government-owned airline, was forced to move its operations there despite objections. Initially, it was operated as three separate areas, befitting the three airlines for which it was designed: the western portion of the building, designed for CP, was the domestic zone; the centre section, designed for BA, was the international zone and the eastern portion, intended for AA, was the base for transborder flights. In the late 1970s, T2 was redesigned again; this iteration lasted until the acquisition of [[Canadian Airlines]] by Air Canada in 2000. The western zone remained Domestic, but was later colour-coded red. In the centre, a separate Rapidair area was created for flights to [[Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport]] and [[Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport|Montreal-Dorval International Airport]], which was also red. The East section was the transborder area, coloured white. A new section was added on the east end for international flights and was coded blue. An airside corridor along the southern edge of T2 was added, giving access to and from [[Canada Border Services Agency|Canada Customs]]; this made it possible for aircraft arriving in one zone to depart with passengers from another zone without regating the aircraft.

===US Border Preclearance===
[[United States border preclearance|Preclearance]] was invented at Pearson in 1952 as a convenience to allow it to connect as a domestic airport to the many American airports that, at that time, lacked customs halls. It was at first a service performed by agents at the gate. American concerns over smuggling between precleared and non-cleared passengers (who at that time shared mixed terminal space) nearly ended the program in the 1970s until a compromise was reached that called for segregated facilities. Today Pearson handles 8 million passengers through preclearance, one quarter of all passenger traffic. As a result Pearson terminals have an unusual bipartite configuration that physically separates transborder from domestic and international passengers from check-in through to boarding. One unintended consequence of this is a more limited selection of retail shops after passing through security, as outgoing transborder passengers cannot use the same airport shops as other passengers (terminal corridors are often separated by a glass partition), reducing the potential customer base for shops by 25%; this results in fewer large shops and restaurants compared to peer airports, and more duplicates of convenience-oriented retail.<ref name="pre">[http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/can-am/bilat_can/preclearance-precontrole.aspx?lang=eng&view=d "Preclearance Act Review: Information Document."] ''Government of Canada.'' Retrieved 2012-04-23.</ref>

Despite appeals from the GTAA and various levels of Canadian government, reduced staffing levels by [[U.S. Customs and Border Protection]] have been blamed for increased wait times at Pearson preclearance, potentially resulting in longer waits in preclearance than at the customs hall of the destination airport and further reducing potential time spent in terminal shops and services. More U.S. airports also now include customs facilities than was the case when the program started. As a result of these changes, preclearance at Pearson has lost some of its original appeal and a competitive advantage over competitors such as [[Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport|Toronto Island]] and [[Buffalo Niagara International Airport|Buffalo]] has been diminished.<ref name="pre"/>

===1984–present===
<!--- how does this help to describe Pearson? [[File:Emirates A380 2.JPG|thumb|An Emirates [[Airbus A380]], the largest passenger aircraft in the world, connects Pearson with [[Dubai International Airport]] 3 times a week.<ref name="World's largest jetliner touches down in Toronto"/>]] --->
The airport was renamed to '''Lester B. Pearson International Airport''' in 1984, in honour of [[Lester B. Pearson]], the fourteenth [[Prime Minister of Canada]] and recipient of the [[Nobel Peace Prize]]. Operationally, the airport is often referred to as Toronto Pearson. Terminal 3 opened in 1991, to offset traffic from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Before its opening, Terminal 3 was the designation for the CP Air [[hangar]] at the airport during 1971 to handle the increased volume at Terminal 1.

There is one infield terminal located near the cargo tenants; however, it is not currently used for by any airline or cargo airline.

As part of the [[National Airports Policy (Canada)|National Airports Policy]], management responsibilities of the Toronto Pearson were transferred from Transport Canada to the Greater Toronto Airports Authority in 1996. The GTAA commenced a [[Canadian dollar|C$]]4.4 billion Airport Development Program with focus on terminal development, airside development, infield development, utilities and airport support facilities to occur over a 10-year period. Work began to replace Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 with a new Terminal 1, which along with a Terminal 3 would become the two passenger terminal facilities at Toronto Pearson.

To accommodate its growing aircraft volume, substantial redevelopment of the airside and infield systems took place. Cargo facilities were added in the centre of the airport between the parallel north–south runways, to increase capabilities and to offset the loss of the cargo facilities that were removed for the new terminal.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gtaa.com/local/files/en/Corporate/Publications/MasterPlan-2008/MP%20-%20Chapter%204%20-%20Airport%20Development%20Program.pdf |title=GTAA – Chapter 4:Layout 1 |format=PDF |date= |accessdate=2011-02-19}}</ref> Two new [[runway]]s were built to increase the number of aircraft that Toronto Pearson can process. A north–south runway, 15R/33L, was added and completed in 1997. Another east–west runway, 06R/24L, was completed in 2002.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gtaa.com/local/files/en/Corporate/Publications/MasterPlan-2008/MP%20-%20Chapter%205%20-%20The%20Airside%20System.pdf |title=GTAA – Chapter 5:Layout 1 |format=PDF |date= |accessdate=2011-02-19}}</ref>

After the [[September 11 attacks]], Toronto Pearson was part of [[Operation Yellow Ribbon]], as it received 19 of the diverted flights that were coming into the United States, although Transport Canada and [[Nav Canada]] instructed pilots to avoid the airport as a security measure.
[[File:Pearson International.JPG|thumb|left|The new Terminal 1 Check-in Hall]]
The new Terminal 1 opened its piers D and E April 6, 2004. Previously, Terminal 2 had a facility for United States border preclearance and handled both domestic and international transborder traffic. Domestic traffic was moved to the new Terminal 1 when it became operational, leaving Terminal 2 to handle international traffic to the United States for Air Canada and its Star Alliance partner United Airlines.

Aeroquay One (the Original Terminal 1) ceased operation on April 5, 2004. The last aircraft out the gate was Flight 862, a departure to London’s Heathrow Airport. Aeroquay One was demolished November 5, 2004. The demolition was done by Priestly Demolition.

Terminal 2 saw its last day in operation as a passenger terminal January 29, 2007, and airlines moved to the newly completed Pier F, or Hammerhead Pier at Terminal 1 the following day. Demolition of Terminal 2 began in April 2007 and concluded November 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/HTMLTemplate?tf=/ctv/mar/video/new_player.html&cf=ctv/mar/ctv.cfg&hub=TorontoHome&video_link_high=mms://ctvbroadcast.ctv.ca/video/2006/11/30/ctvvideologger1_500kbit/s_2006_11_30_1164930775.wmv&video_link_low=mms://ctvbroadcast.ctv.ca/video/2006/11/30/ctvvideologger1_218kbit/s_2006_11_30_1164929527.wmv&clip_start=00:06:11.27&clip_end=00:01:39.09&clip_caption=Janice%20Golding%20previews%20Pearson%E2%80%99s%20new%20Terminal%201&clip_id=ctvnews.20061130.00172000-00172950-clip1&subhub=video&no_ads=&sortdate=20061130&slug=pearson_terminal_one_061130&archive=CTVNews |title=CTV News |publisher=Ctv.ca |date= |accessdate=2011-02-19}}</ref> Terminal 1 was designed to easily accommodate a future expansion.

The first landing of an [[Airbus A380|A380]] in Toronto was June 1, 2009, operated by [[Emirates (airline)|Emirates]].<ref name="World's largest jetliner touches down in Toronto">{{cite news |author= Staff reporter|title= World's largest jetliner touches down in Toronto|author="World's largest jetliner touches down in Toronto"|url= http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2009/06/01/jetliner-a380-pearson.html |publisher= [[CBC News]]|date= June 1, 2009|accessdate=2009-07-04}}</ref> Since then, the A380 operates on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from/to Dubai.

Traffic flow is steady at Pearson throughout the year, but during the day, peak passenger, cargo and aircraft movements are between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. daily. Transpacific flights from East Asia peak late in the night, while Transatlantic flights peak during the afternoon. Flights from North America are available throughout the day, however, traffic from North America peaks during the morning hours.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gtaa.com/en/travellers/search_results/?info=arrivals&all=true&submitting=true |title=Greater Toronto Airports Authority – Live Flight Information |publisher=Gtaa.com |date= |accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

Soon Toronto will fly two 787 airlines carriers. Ethiopian airlines will start their 787 operations on Nov 9,2012 flying 2 weekly from Addis Ababa, with an intermediate stop in Rome on the westbound route. [[LOT Polish Airlines]] will start flying to Pearson eight times per week from [[Warsaw Chopin Airport|Warsaw]] beginning on 1 February 2013.

==Terminals==
{{wide image|Toronto Pearson Airport - Terminal 1.JPG|800px|Terminal 1 seen from the ramp}}
[[File:Toronto Pearson Airport-Terminal 1.JPG|thumb|Terminal 1 building]]
Toronto Pearson International Airport currently has two operating terminals: Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. T1 opened April 6, 2004. The old Terminal 1, which closed simultaneously with the opening, was demolished to make room for additional gates at Pier E. Pier F at Terminal 1, which has an enlarged end called "Hammerhead F", opened January 30, 2007, to replace Terminal 2. This pier accommodates for international traffic and adds 7 million passengers per year to the airport's total capacity. Redevelopment of the airport was a logistical challenge as the existing terminals remained operational throughout construction and demolition.

Pearson is one of eight Canadian airports that has [[United States border preclearance]] facilities. U.S. Border Preclearance is located in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3.

As of August 2010, free high speed Wi-Fi internet access is available throughout all passenger terminals at Toronto Pearson.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.thestar.com/travel/northamerica/article/843848--free-wi-fi-begins-at-toronto-pearson-airport | location=Toronto | work=The Star | first=Jim | last=Byers | title=Free Wi-Fi begins at Toronto Pearson Airport | date=August 4, 2010}}</ref>

===Terminal 1===
Terminal 1 is designed to handle domestic, international and transborder flights in one facility. The Terminal features three piers: Piers D and E with 38 gates and Pier F with 23 gates. Pier F serves transborder and international flights, replacing Terminal 2 and the Infield Terminal (IFT). A Pier G is slated to be built in the future if demand warrants.<ref>{{cite web|last=Schwartz |first=Adele C. |url=http://www.atwonline.com/magazine/article.html?articleID=1472 |title=Changes to Toronto's Terminal 1 design improve passenger flow and visibility, adds handling space |publisher=Atwonline.com |date=December 1, 2005 |accessdate=2011-02-19}}</ref>

The terminal was designed by [[Skidmore, Owings and Merrill]] LLP, Adamson Associates Architects, and [[Moshe Safdie]] and Associates.

All [[Star Alliance]] airlines (except [[Taca Airlines]]) serving Toronto operate out of Terminal 1; however, the terminal is also used by airlines that are not members of Star Alliance. Terminal 1 has 58 gates: 101, 103, 105, 107–112, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 131–145, 151, 153, 155, 157, 160–163, 164A–164B, 165, 166A–166B, 167–181, 191 and 193. Two gates are able to handle the [[Airbus A380]] aircraft. Currently [[Emirates (airline)|Emirates]] is the only operator of this type into Toronto Pearson.

Measuring over {{convert|567000|m2|ft2|sigfig=1}}, Terminal 1 is the [[List of largest buildings in the world|11th largest airport terminal in the world]] in terms of floor area.

Along with the standard customs facilities, the terminal also contains a few 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 and are then directed to Pier F. This alleviates the need to re-check bags and go through security and relieves congestion in the primary customs hall.<ref>airport wayfinder</ref>

The infield terminal was built to handle traffic displaced during the Terminal 1 development. The IFT has 11 gates (521 to 531). It is planned to be reactivated once passenger demand rises to a point in which Terminal 1 needs to be expanded again. It has also been used as a location for film and television shoots.

===Terminal 3===
[[File:Pearson T3 LINK Station.jpg|thumb|The platform of the LINK Train's Terminal 3 station]]
Terminal 3, which opened February 21, 1991, was built to offset traffic from the old Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Terminal 3 was initially advertised as "Trillium Terminal 3" and "The Trillium Terminal". It was built as a private venture and was a state of the art terminal containing, among other things, a U.S. customs pre-clearance facility. A parking garage and hotel is located across from the terminal and is connected to it by an elevated pedestrian walkway. At the time of opening, the hotel was managed by [[Swissôtel]], it was rebranded a [[Sheraton Hotels and Resorts|Sheraton]] property in October 1993.<ref>{{cite news|title=Sheraton takes over Swissotel, increases Metro hotels to 4|work=[[Toronto Star]]|publisher=Torstar Corp.|date=October 8, 1993|page=F7|accessdate=2010-09-22|url=http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/thestar/access/518981991.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Oct+08%2C+1993&author=&pub=Toronto+Star&edition=&startpage=F.7&desc=Sheraton+takes+over+Swissotel%2C+increases+Metro+hotels+to+4}}</ref> In 1997, the GTAA purchased Terminal 3, shortly thereafter implementing a C$350 million expansion.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Settlement near over cancelled airport contract|work=[[Toronto Star]]|publisher=Torstar Corp.|date=April 2, 1997|page=B3|author=Joan Bryden|accessdate=2010-09-22|url=http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/thestar/access/508524041.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Apr+2%2C+1997&author=Joan+Bryden&pub=The+Spectator&edition=&startpage=B.3&desc=Settlement+near+over+cancelled+airport+contract}}</ref>

The GTAA Terminal 3 Redevelopment Team (T3RD) was formed to oversee the terminal expansion.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gtaa.com/local/files/en/TodayMarApr2006.pdf |title=march-april.qxp |format=PDF |date= |accessdate=2011-02-19}}</ref> In 2004, the Pier C Expansion opened. In June 2006, the East Processor Extension (EPE) started operations. With a soaring, undulating roofline, the EPE added 40 new [[check-in]] counters, new retail space, more secure 'hold-screening' for baggage and a huge picture window offering one of the most convenient [[Airport ramp|apron]] viewing locations at the airport. Improved Canadian Border services and a more open arrivals hall were included in Phase I of the expansion. Phase II of the EPE was completed in 2007 and includes larger security screening areas and additional international [[baggage claim]] areas. The West Processor Expansion Shell was completed by early 2008.<ref>[[WestJet]] has over 22 destinations from this terminal, with an average of 100+ flights daily, making it one of the busier airlines serving the airport [http://www.gtaa.com/local/files/en/TodayJulyAugust2006.pdf Toronto Pearson Today July–August]</ref>

All [[SkyTeam]] and [[Oneworld]] airlines serving Pearson operate out of Terminal 3, along with most airlines that are not affiliated with an airline alliance. Terminal 3 has 39 gates: A1–A6, B7–B22 and C24–C41.

In July 2006, the automated [[LINK Train]] [[people mover]] opened, with two 6-car trains running between Terminals 1 and 3 and the 6A Station, where a reduced rate and airport staff parking lot exists between Airport Road and Viscount Road. A new parking garage, constructed at 6B parking lot, opposite the 6A Station and linked via a bridge across Viscount Road, opened in December 2009 with a capacity of 8,500 vehicles. This is a mixed-use building that accommodates long term parking, employee parking and rental car operations.

==Access==

===Motor vehicle===
The airport is accessible from [[Ontario Highway 427|Highway 427]] (just north of the [[Ontario Highway 401|Highway 401]] [[Spaghetti Junction|spaghetti interchange]]) or from [[Ontario Highway 409|Highway 409]], a spur off Highway 401 leading directly into the airport. Airport Road to the north and Dixon Road to the east both provide local access to the airport.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gtaa.com/en/travellers/airport_information/ground_transportatio/driving_directions/ |title=Greater Toronto Airports Authority – Driving Directions |publisher=Gtaa.com |date= |accessdate=2010-03-11}}</ref>

Restricted road access from Courtney Park Drive and Britannia Road to the west side of the airport are for authorized vehicles only. Various roads to the cargo area to the north are also restricted. Other roads that travel along the airport grounds and runways are blocked off by fencing and gates.

===Public transit===
Bus services connecting Toronto and the surrounding region to Pearson Airport include the [[Toronto Transit Commission]] (public transit), [[GO Transit]] (public regional transit), [[MiWay]] (public transit), [[Brampton Transit]] (public transit), [[Toronto Airport Express|Toronto Airport Express Coach]] (private airport coach service), and [[Can-ar Coach Service]] (private airport coach service):<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gtaa.com/en/travellers/airport_information/ground_transportatio/public_transportatio/ |title=Greater Toronto Airports Authority – Public Transportation |publisher=Gtaa.com |date= |accessdate=2010-03-11}}</ref>

===Taxis, limousines, and shuttle vehicles===
Toronto Pearson International Airport has pick-up locations for taxis, limousines, out-of-town bus and/or shuttle services, offering transportation to downtown Toronto, cities throughout Ontario, and into Detroit. Taxis are licensed by the City of Mississauga, separately from the City of Toronto. Taxis licensed in Toronto can deliver to Pearson, but only airport-licensed taxis and limos can pickup at Pearson legally. Rides can also be pre-arranged through GTA Airport Taxi or GTA Airport Limo at the Airport, providing prompt pick-up outside the terminal.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.torontopearson.com/en/toandfrom/taxilimo/ |title=Greater Toronto Airports Authority – Taxis & Limousines |publisher=Gtaa.com |date=August 1, 2009 |accessdate=2011-08-11}}</ref> Pearson Airport Limousine companies use GTAA authorized out of town flat rates for pickups from Pearson Airport.<ref>http://www.torontopearson.com/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=1873</ref>

Toronto Pearson International Airport supports many out-of-town small bus, van and shuttle operators, offering transportation from the airport to cities, towns, and villages throughout Southern Ontario. Some operators offer connections to other airports in [[Ontario]] ([[John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport]] in [[Hamilton, Ontario|Hamilton]] and [[London International Airport]] in [[London, Ontario|London]]) or in the United States ([[Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport]] in [[Detroit]], Michigan and [[Buffalo Niagara International Airport]] in [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]], New York).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gtaa.com/en/travellers/airport_information/ground_transportatio/outoftown_van_servic/ |title=Greater Toronto Airports Authority – Out-of-Town Van Services |publisher=Gtaa.com |date= |accessdate=2010-03-11}}</ref>

===Future rapid transit connections===
{{Further|Air Rail Link|Eglinton–Scarborough Crosstown line|Mississauga Transitway}}
The airport is not currently served by [[Rail transport|trains]], even though it is near an existing [[Track (rail transport)|railway line]]. In July 2010, [[Metrolinx]], Toronto's regional transport agency, announced it would design, build, own, and operate a mainline rail-style [[airport rail link]] from [[Union Station (Toronto)|Union Station]]. Construction has begun and is expected to be completed in time for the [[2015 Pan American Games]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/single-view/view/10/toronto-airport-rail-link-negotiations-collapse/browse/5.html|accessdate=2010-08-16|title=Railway Gazette: Toronto airport rail link negotiations collapse}}</ref> The service is expected to eliminate 1.5 million car trips annually. The project, whose cost is estimated at $300–500 million, remains controversial due to opposition from neighbourhoods along the route. Currently, the closest rail station from Pearson is [[Malton GO Station]] at Derry Road east of Airport Road. There is no direct access or connections from this station to the airport.

The originally proposed Eglinton Crosstown LRT was projected to connect Pearson to [[Scarborough, Ontario|Scarborough]] by 2018 as part of the ''[[Transit City]]'' plan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www3.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Commission_reports_and_information/Commission_meetings/2009/November_17_2009/Reports/Eglinton_Crosstown_L.pdf |title=Commission Report Macro |format=PDF |date= |accessdate=2010-03-11}}</ref> However, when the four Transit City lines were found to be $2.4 billion over their funding envelope in January 2010, parts of the network were deferred, including the western section of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT.<ref>[http://www.metrolinx.com/en/docs/pdf/board_agenda/20100519/Five_in_Ten_Board_web.pdf " Achieving 5 in 10: A Revised Plan for the Big 5 Transit Projects"] By Jack Collins. May 19, 2010</ref>

One of the routes in [[GO Transit]]'s proposed Highway 407 BRT system would reach the airport. As a precursor, GO currently operates the 40 Airport Express route between Richmond Hill Centre and Pearson Airport. This route formerly served Mississauga City Centre, but was shortened due to [[MiWay]]'s launch of its own Airport Express route. The second BRT route would utilize the [[Mississauga Transitway|Highway 403 Transitway]], which is currently under construction. Mississauga Transit's 107 Malton Express is in service since March 2010, connecting [[Mississauga City Centre Transit Terminal|Mississauga City Centre]], [[Westwood Mall Bus Terminal|Malton]], and Pearson Airport via the LINK Train's Viscount Station during peak hours only. After the completion of the transitway in late 2012, travel times between these destinations would be cut down to 19 minutes (compared to 7 Airport's 41 minutes and to the current 107's 29 minutes). Also, an all-day, all-week connection between the two destinations would be established. However, it is not known whether the route would enter the airport proper when Route 107 becomes a fully established BRT route and when full BRT service commences.<ref>http://www.mississauga.ca/file/COM/BRTnewsletterFall09.pdf</ref>

==Accidents and incidents==
[[File:International airport toronto pearson.jpg|thumb|The Terminal 3 Grand Hall]]
* On November 3, 1959, [[Vickers Viscount]] CF-TGY of '''[[Trans-Canada Air Lines]]''' was written off when it landed short of the runway<ref name=ASN031159>{{cite web|url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19590013-0 |title=Accident description |publisher=Aviation Safety Network |accessdate=2009-09-07}}</ref>
* On June 13, 1964, [[Vickers Viscount]] CF-THT of '''[[Air Canada]]''' was damaged beyond economical repair when it crash-landed after the failure of two engines on approach.<ref name=ASN130664>{{cite web|url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19640613-1 |title=Accident description |publisher=Aviation Safety Network |accessdate=2009-10-06}}</ref>
* The airport's deadliest accident occurred on July 5, 1970, when '''[[Air Canada Flight 621]]''', a [[Douglas DC-8|DC-8]] jet, flew on a Montreal–Toronto–Los Angeles route. The pilots inadvertently deployed [[spoiler (aeronautics)|spoiler]]s before the plane attempted [[landing]], forcing the pilots to abort landing and [[takeoff]]. Damage to the aircraft 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 [[Aircrew|crew]] on board when it crashed in 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 found on the site.<ref>Wilkes, Jim (July 6, 2004) [http://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 "Ghosts of Flight 621 haunt Brampton field"], ''[[Toronto Star]]''. Retrieved 2007-07-06.</ref>
* On August 30, 1970, [[Douglas C-47 Skytrain|Douglas C-47]] CF-JRY of D G Harris Productions was damaged beyond economic repair in a storm.<ref name=ASN300870>{{cite web|url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19700830-0 |title=CF-JRY Hull-loss description |publisher=Aviation Safety Network |accessdate=2010-10-20}}</ref>
* On June 26, 1978, '''[[Air Canada Flight 189]]''' to [[Winnipeg]] overran the runway during an [[Rejected takeoff|aborted takeoff]], and crashed into the [[Etobicoke Creek]] [[ravine]]. Two of 107 passengers on board the [[McDonnell Douglas DC-9|DC-9]] were killed.
* 1983: '''[[Air Canada Flight 797]]''', on a [[Dallas]]–Toronto–Montreal route, had an in-flight fire and landed in [[Cincinnati]]; half of the occupants died, including famed Canadian folksinger, [[Stan Rogers]].
*On June 22, 1983, [[Douglas C-47 Skytrain|Douglas C-47A]] C-GUBT of [[Skycraft Air Transport]] crashed on take-off roll at Toronto International Airport while on an international cargo flight from [[Cleveland Hopkins International Airport]], [[Ohio]]. Both crew were killed.<ref name=ASN220683>{{cite web|url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19830622-0 |title=C-GUBT Accident report |publisher=Aviation Safety Network |accessdate=2010-07-27}}</ref>
* 1985: A bomb was loaded onto '''Air India Flight 181''', which departed from Toronto Pearson International Airport and arrived at [[Montréal-Mirabel International Airport]] and then departed as '''[[Air India Flight 182]]''', using the same aircraft and carrying passengers who were on Flight 181, was scheduled to fly on the [[Montreal]]–London–[[Delhi]]–[[Mumbai|Bombay]] route. The [[Boeing 747-200]]B exploded over the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of [[Cork (city)|Cork]], Ireland killing all 307 passengers and 22 crew.
* 2001: '''[[Air Transat Flight 236]]''', flying from Toronto Pearson to [[Lisbon Portela Airport]] in Lisbon, Portugal with 306 people on board, ran out of fuel over the Atlantic Ocean. The aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing at [[Lajes Field]] in the [[Azores]]. There were no fatalities and only minor injuries.
* On August 2, 2005, '''[[Air France Flight 358]]''', an [[Airbus A340|Airbus A340-300]] (registration F-GLZQ) inbound from Paris, landed on runway 24L in a severe thunderstorm, failed to stop and ran off the runway into the Etobicoke Creek ravine. The rear third of the plane burst into flames, eventually engulfing the whole plane except the [[cockpit]] and [[wing]]s. There were 12 serious injuries but no fatalities. The investigation predominately blamed pilot error when faced with the severe weather conditions.
* 2010: '''[[Pakistan International Airlines]] Flight 782''', en route from Toronto Pearson International Airport to [[Jinnah International Airport]] in [[Karachi]], Pakistan made an emergency landing at [[Stockholm-Arlanda Airport|Arlanda Airport]] in Stockholm, Sweden on September 25 due to a hoax bomb threat on board. After evacuating all 273 passengers from the [[Boeing 777|Boeing 777-200LR]] aircraft, a thorough police search was conducted to find any explosives on the aircraft. No explosives were found during the investigation and the plane arrived at Karachi 13 hours late.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/298085 |title=Canada to Pakistan flight grounded in Europe after bomb threat |publisher=Digitaljournal.com |date= |accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>
*On December 7th, 2010, an '''[[Emirates (airline)|Emirates]]''' [[Airbus A380]] was damaged when a catering truck collapsed on the right wing, damaging it. The aircraft was taken out of service to be repaired.<ref>http://www.cargolaw.com/2000nightmare_singleonly15.html#A380</ref>
