Join us in creating the airport of the future

A new era of investment in facilities and infrastructure is coming to Toronto Pearson

Over the next decade, we are working to transform Toronto Pearson into one of the most advanced, sustainable and passenger-friendly airports in the world.

With our passenger numbers projected to grow to 65 million by early 2030’s, we’ve set out an ambitious capital plan to meet growing passenger demand and create a global transportation hub built for the digital age.

What we’re planning

Pearson LIFT (Long-term Investments in Facilities and Terminals) is our construction plan consisting of three major programs, spanning more than 10 years. We’re planning:

Modernized terminal buildings that enable greater operational flexibility

New gates and increased capacity for passengers and baggage

Upgrades to existing infrastructure and construction of world-class retail experiences

Environmentally sustainable buildings that incorporate the latest technologies and innovations

Investing in our future

Investments at Pearson matter to Toronto, to Canada and to the world.

Protecting and enhancing Canada’s direct air connectivity to global economies

Reducing environmental impacts to advance Canada’s climate goals and energy transition

Creating a world-class airport experience as a first impression for arriving visitors

Making it easier to get here with new roads and transit connections to surrounding regions for passengers, cargo and employees

Catalyzing economic growth and job creation through business and investment opportunities

What’s Next

Planning & Design: We are working closely with our airport partners as we move forward with planning and design. Procurement: On April 12 we hosted an Industry Forum with hundreds of representatives from sub-trades and members of the construction, design and engineering industries as a first step in our procurement process. Bidding opportunities can be found on our supplier page.

Our vision and plan

This transformation is the evolution of our vision, built on our Master Plan, which projected strong passenger growth from 2017-2037, necessitating significant expansion projects in our passenger facilities and investments in airport infrastructure. Our latest passenger growth projections for the next decade fall within the range predicted in 2017.

We are committed to creating future-proofed airport facilities that deliver long-term value, while being flexible enough to adapt to the challenges today and the years ahead. Working with our airport partners throughout all stages of these programs, we will deliver world-class infrastructure for Canadians through financially prudent, cost-effective investments.
