Press Release

Toronto Pearson responds to Government of Canada statement on airport ownership

September 15, 2026 - Toronto Pearson recognizes the federal government’s plan for future investment in airports. We look forward to working with the government on next steps that ensure stewardship of Pearson, one of North America’s busiest and high performing airport hubs, while achieving the government’s national investment strategy.

Our focus remains on operating the most internationally connected airport in North America safely and efficiently, serving passengers, airlines, and the Canadian public, while supporting our employees, advancing Pearson LIFT and expanding our role as one of Canada's largest employment hubs, building on the 52,000 jobs supported by the airport today.  

Toronto Pearson will continue to collaborate with the federal government to ensure the airport maintains delivery of long-term economic value, meets the needs of our passengers and preserves the critical role our sector plays in Canada's sovereignty and prosperity.
