History

The airport first opened in 1939 as Malton Airport. It was renamed Toronto International Airport in 1960, and then to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (LBPIA) in 1984 in honour of Lester B. Pearson, Canada's 14th prime minister. On December 2, 1996, operational control of the airport passed from the Government of Canada to the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) as part of the National Airports Policy. The full name of the airport, according to the GTAA, is now "Toronto Pearson International Airport" or "Toronto Pearson", but it is also sometimes simply called "Pearson." News media and travel agents typically refer to the airport as "Lester B. Pearson International Airport."

For the Manfred Mann album, see 2006 (album). ...

The award is granted on the basis of the ITM's annual aviation research program, conducted by the Institute's research team, that sets out each year to establish which airport has demonstrated the political leadership and commitment backed by considerable investment. The ITM noted that Toronto Pearson has become a growing force within North America, and wider destinations, for its excellent facilities and customer focused attitude towards passengers. In making its decision, the ITM Awards Committee commented that Toronto Pearson's strong management structure has enabled the airport to meet current industry demands through its high operational standards and focus on service excellence. They also praised many other facets of the GTAA's operations and the fact that the GTAA has positioned Toronto Pearson to handle the challenges that lie ahead because of its foresight.

Airport development program

Aerial view of the terminal buildings

On January 30th, 2007 Toronto Pearson airport passed a major milestone in its history, with the completion of the airport development program (ADP). January 29th was the last day of service for Terminal 2, and Pier F of the Terminal 1 opened on January 30th to take its place. The operator of the airport, the GTAA, has invested 4.4 billion dollars over the past 10 years into the ADP which has focused on terminal development, airside development, infield development, utilities and airport support facilities.

Terminal development

The main component of the ADP has been terminal development. The ADP has replaced the old terminals 1 and 2 with a larger and more modern new Terminal 1. This terminal, along with Terminal 3 are now the two passenger terminal facilities at Toronto Pearson. Terminal 1 has been constructed in a way that will allow for future expansion. Future projections see Pearson handling 50 million plus passengers annually by 2020, and Terminal 1 will be expanded as needed to service the passengers.

Airside and infield development

In order to ensure that Toronto Pearson is able to accommodate its growing aircraft volume, substantial redevelopment of the airside and infield systems has taken place. Cargo facilities have been centralised and a new runway has been built to increase the number of aircraft that Toronto Pearson can process.

Location and access

Pearson Airport is located about 27 kilometres (17 mi) west of downtown Toronto by road.

Blue22 dedicated rail link

Main article: Blue22

Although the airport is near an existing railway line, it is not currently served by trains. On November 13, 2003, Union Pearson AirLink Group, a subsidiary of SNC-Lavalin, was selected to finance, design, construct, operate, and maintain a rail link connecting Toronto Pearson with Toronto's Union Station, with a planned travel time of about twenty minutes. The service, to be called Blue22, is expected to eliminate 1.5 million car trips annually. The project, whose cost is estimated at $300-500 million, remains controversial, as only 17% of people using Toronto Pearson now travel to downtown Toronto.

Travellers headed to suburban destinations will be able to use the service to connect to GO Transit commuter trains at Union Station, but early analyses predict that this will be considered unattractive to most, since people will need to take a train from the airport's suburban location to downtown, only to have to transfer to another train to go back to the suburbs. Its usefulness to travellers not headed downtown may increase, however, if a stop is created at the existing Bloor GO Train station, allowing people to transfer to the TTC subway at its nearby Dundas West station. The traffic on the Canadian National Railway Weston Subdivision caused by the Blue22 service would increase to the point where the level crossings would need to be dismantled (as per Ministry of Transportation and railroad regulatory guidelines). Due to the tight geography of the area, underpasses replacing the level crossings are not feasible options. Residents along the proposed route are concerned that the closure of the level crossings will cut their community in two - hindering business and travel in the area.

Accidents

• The airport's worst accident took place on July 5, 1970, when Air Canada Flight 621, a DC-8 jet, was flying on a Montreal-Toronto-Los Angeles route. The spoilers were inadvertently deployed before the plane attempted landing, forcing the pilots to abort landing and take-off. 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 crew on board when it crashed near the Hunters Glen Golf Course south of Bolton. 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.^[6]
• 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 107 passengers on board the DC-9 were killed.
• On August 2, 2005, Air France Flight 358, an Airbus A340-300 inbound from Paris, appeared to successfully land on runway 24L in a severe thunderstorm, but then failed to stop and ran off the runway into the Etobicoke Creek ravine. The rear third of the plane burst into flames. The flames had engulfed the whole plane by 18:00 except the cockpit and the wings. There were 43 injuries, none serious, and no fatalities. Some flights were redirected to other cities, including 12 flights at Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport and Hamilton/John C. Munro International Airport. Many of the bigger jumbo jets were rerouted to Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. This incident is currently under investigation by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSBC). Many consider the accident's outcome – the aircraft's destruction without any fatalities – an example of improving safety standards and excellent response by the flight crew as well as airport fire and rescue personnel.

• On May 20, 2007 Air Canada Jazz Flight # AC8911 travelling from Moncton, New Brunswick to Toronto, Ontario suffered a main gear collapse while it was taxiing on the runway heading into the terminal. 37 passengers and 3 crew members aboard were not injured. The Transportation Safety Board is currently investigating the incident.

The Etobicoke Creek ravine is very close to the west end of the airport. As it is in the runway overshoot zone and has been involved in two major accidents, there have been calls for the ravine to be improved for safety, perhaps by replacing it with a culvert and levelling the terrain. No doubt this would be an extremely expensive undertaking and it remains to be seen what (if anything) will be done. is the 186th day of the year (187th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1970 (MCMLXX) was a common year starting on Thursday. ...

Terminals and airlines

Terminal 1 interior, Jonathan Borofsky's I Dreamed I Could Fly

Toronto Pearson International Airport currently has two operating terminals: Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. T1 opened on April 6, 2004, with Air Canada being its major tenant. The old Terminal 1, which closed simultaneously, was demolished to make room for additional gates that extend off of the east side of Pier E and gates on the Liner between Pier E and Pier F. As part of the redevelopment of Toronto Pearson, the Infield Terminal (IFT) was constructed to handle international flights as Terminal 1 was expanded. Use of the Infield Terminal is planned to be restricted to peak travel periods throughout the year. Pier F at Terminal 1 opened on January 30, 2007; this pier is for U.S. and international traffic and adds 7 million passengers per year to the airport's total capacity. By the end of 2008, Terminal 2 will be completely torn down and the area will become parking locations for aircraft. Redevelopment of the airport was a logistical challenge as the existing terminals remained operational throughout construction and demolition.

Terminal 3

Terminal 3 overview

Inside Terminal 3.

Terminal 3, which opened in February 1991, was built to offset traffic from old Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. It was built as a private venture and was a state of the art terminal containing, among other things, a US customs pre-clearance facility. In June 2006, the East Processor Extension (EPE) was opened. With a soaring, undulating roofline, the EPE added 40 new check-in counters (used primarily by Cathay Pacific, Korean Air, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and British Airways), new retail space, more secure 'hold-screening' for baggage and a huge picture window offering one of the most convenient 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 is due to be complete in 2007 and will include larger security screening areas and additional international baggage claim areas. Also due for completion by 2007 is the West Processor Expansion Shell with complete outfitting to be complete by early 2008.

Former terminals

Malton Airport Terminal

The first airport terminal was built in 1938 by the Toronto Harbour Commission and consisted of a standard frame terminal building from a converted farm house. The original airport covered 420 acres with full lighting, radio, weather reporting equipment, two hard surface runways and one grass landing strip. Toronto Port Authority (TPA) is a Port Authority responsible for all activities in the Port of Toronto, including the Toronto City Centre Airport. ...

The airport was sold to the City of Toronto in 1940 and used as a military training airport. In 1942 an air traffic control centre was added to Malton.

A second building, similar to the existing structure at the Toronto City Centre Airport, was built to replace the old terminal in 1949 and was able to handle 400,000 passengers a year. It was demolished in the late 1960s to make way for the old T1 building. In 1958 Transport Canada took control over Toronto Airport from the City.

• 14-32 - 11,475 feet north-south runway - replaced by 15-33R
• 10-28 - 7,425 feet northwest-southeast runway

Avro Arrow The A.V.Roe CF-105 Arrow was a delta-wing interceptor aircraft, designed and built in Toronto, Ontario, Canada by Avro Canada during a short period of time in the 1950s. ...

Terminal 1 (Original)

The original T1 (also called Aeroquay One) was a round 10 floor structure with a two level passenger area. The squared parking structure was located in the middle with access via a spiral ramp. The terminal space consisted of a semi-circle It was designed by John Burnett Parkin and built between 1957 and 1964. State of the art in the 1960s, the terminal was obsolete by the early 1970s and resulted in the building of Terminal 2 in 1968. A tunnel to T2 was located on the southeast side of the terminal. The old T1 has since been demolished to make way for the new T1. John Burnett Parkin, (June 26, 1911 in Toronto, Ontario- August 17, 1975 in Los Angeles, California) was a Canadian architect. ... 1964 (MCMLXIV) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (the link is to a full 1964 calendar). ... 1960 (MCMLX) was a leap year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1960 calendar). ... 1970 (MCMLXX) was a common year starting on Thursday. ...

• Air Jazz / Air Alliance

Terminal 2

Designed by John Burnett Parkin and constructed as a freight terminal in the late 1960s, the failed development of the Pickering Airport forced Pearson Airport to modify its use into a two floor, 26-gate passenger terminal designated Terminal 2; it opened on June 15, 1972. Initially, it was served only by charter airlines, but became the hub for all Air Canada passenger flights in the spring of 1973. A tunnel on the northwest corner connected 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), however their inefficiency in handling wide-body passenger aircraft by the late 1960s forced the airport to abandon the circular terminal concept. Terminal Two was designed for three airlines: American, BOAC, and CPAir. In the later development stages, it became apparent that it would not be viable in this form, the major complaint being the lack of indoor parking and the lack of windows. As AA, BA (formerly BOAC) and CP opted out of T2, Air Canada, as the government airline, was forced to move its operations there against its will. Initially, it was operated as three separate areas, befitting the three airlines for which it was designed: furthest west, (designed for CP) the Domestic zone; at the centre (designed for BA), International; furthest east, (for AA) Transborder. In the late 1970s, T2 was redesigned again; this iteration lasting until the acquisition of Canadian Airlines in 2000. The western zone remained Domestic, but was now colour coded red. In the middle, a separate Rapidair area, was created for YOW (Ottawa) and YUL (Montreal) flights; it was red as well. East of that was the Transborder area, colour 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 Customs; this made it possible for aircraft arriving in one zone to depart with passengers from an another zone without regating the aircraft. The 1960s decade refers to the years from January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1969, inclusive. ...

Terminal 2 had a United States border preclearance facility and handled both domestic and international transborder traffic to the US from the 1970s to the early 2000s. After T1-New became operational, domestic traffic moved from T2 to that facility, leaving T2 to handle transborder US traffic for Air Canada and their Star Alliance partner United Airlines.
