Economic Impact

Whether you’re moving from one end of the country to the other, transporting a champion horse to its next race, or setting up a trade show overseas, our job is to get you – and your cargo – where you need to go.

Located in the industrial heart of Canada, Toronto Pearson is the second-busiest North American gateway to Europe, and Canada’s primary air hub. Our airport handles the most Canadian/U.S. traffic on the continent and more than 30% of Canada’s total air traffic.

With our excellent facilities, low landing fees, inviting new flight routes, and work on new initiatives, we're proud of our positive economic impact on the community.

Jobs

Toronto Pearson generates:  

• Directly, over 106,000 full-time jobs
• Indirectly, over 80,000 jobs in the surrounding community  

Your Voice - Collaboration and Community Building

We wouldn’t be who we are today without the knowledge, passion, and vested interest of our employees. In fact, several employee ideas and initiatives generated through the Your Voice program have been put into practice – with significant cost savings.

Toronto Pearson is also proud to partner with local companies who share our values on the economy and environment. 

Tourism

For many of our guests, Toronto Pearson is the first experience they have with our city, our province, and even our country. Which is why our airport holds such a significant place in the tourism industry.

To make travellers feel especially welcome, we partner with local artists and cultural organizations to provide a small sample of the events they can find happening in the Greater Toronto Area. We also keep an open dialogue with airlines, tourism agencies, and other organizations to help promote our incredible corner of the world.
