Toronto Pearson International Airport#Terminal 1

{{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.{{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.{{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.{{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 }} 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.{{cite news |title=Other News to Note: Canada |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-orlando-sentinel-other-news-to-note/157049227/ |work=The Orlando Sentinel |date=January 3, 1984 |page=A-12 |quote=Signs were up Monday [yesterday] directing motorists to Lester B.

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.{{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 }}

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.{{Cite web|url=https://priestly.ca/projects/airports/terminal-1-and-2-lester-b-pearson-international-airport/#1629820666263-c29c8273-58cc|title=Lester B.

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.{{cite news|last = Schwartz|first = Adele C.|url = http://atwonline.com/operations/bonus-design|title = Bonus Design|work= Air Transport World|date=December 1, 2005|access-date= September 16, 2013 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150610221040/http://atwonline.com/operations/bonus-design|archive-date = June 10, 2015|url-status = live|location = Silver Spring, Maryland}} 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.{{cite web|url=https://www.canada.ca/en/transport-canada/news/2016/02/new-airport-security-option-made-available-to-speed-up-connections-for-air-travellers.html|title=New airport security option made available to speed up connections for air travellers|date=2016-02-29|work=Transport Canada|access-date=2020-01-10|archive-date=January 10, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200110222918/https://www.canada.ca/en/transport-canada/news/2016/02/new-airport-security-option-made-available-to-speed-up-connections-for-air-travellers.html|url-status=live}}

The Infield Concourse (IFC) was originally built to handle traffic displaced during the development and construction of the current Terminal 1. Its 11 gates were opened gradually throughout 2002 and 2003, and a business lounge was opened in 2005.{{cite web | title = Toronto Pearson Master Plan – Chapter 6 : Passenger Terminals | url = http://www.torontopearson.com/uploadedFiles/GTAA/Content/About_GTAA/Strategy/Master_Plan/MP%20-%20Chapter%206%20-%20Passenger%20Terminals.pdf | access-date = July 12, 2014 | archive-date = July 25, 2014 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140725101805/http://torontopearson.com/uploadedFiles/GTAA/Content/About_GTAA/Strategy/Master_Plan/MP%20-%20Chapter%206%20-%20Passenger%20Terminals.pdf | url-status = dead | quote = The Infield Terminal (IFT) was constructed to provide interim gating capacity during the phased construction of 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.{{cite news |title=Toronto's Pearson airport unveils special terminal for Syrian refugees |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-pearson-airport-terminal-refugees-1.3355495 |access-date=May 5, 2019 |last=Kalata|first=Natalie|location=Toronto|publisher=CBC News |date=December 8, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190505195336/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-pearson-airport-terminal-refugees-1.3355495 |archive-date=May 5, 2019 |url-status=live }} 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.

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).{{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}} 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.

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.

• {{note|c|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.
• {{note|d|d}}: As of 2021, "transborder" and "international" passenger statistics have been combined by the GTAA as "international".

• 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.{{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}}

• 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 kts, 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.{{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 |language=en}}

• 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.{{Cite web|url=https://toronto.citynews.ca/2024/01/22/air-france-paris-to-toronto-causes-tail-strike/|title=Air France flight from Paris to Toronto attempts 'go around' after failed landing causing tail strike|website=CityNews Toronto | access-date=January 22, 2024}}{{Cite web|url=https://avherald.com/h?article=513fc722|title=Accident: France A359 at Toronto on Jan 21st 2024, tail strike on landing/go around|website=The Aviation Herald| access-date=January 22, 2024}}{{Cite web |title=Air France flight failed landing causes tail strike |url=https://toronto.citynews.ca/2024/01/22/air-france-paris-to-toronto-causes-tail-strike/ |access-date=2024-01-23 |website=toronto.citynews.ca}}

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 {{Coord|43|39|35.2|N|79|37|31.1|W}}.

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

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.{{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}} Peart and Lee have both said, "It's always a happy day when YYZ appears on our luggage tags."{{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}}
