Accelerator
The first program under Pearson LIFT has begun and we are planning to have shovels in the ground in 2025. It will deliver vital upgrades and revitalization of our airport assets, aiming to improve our on-time performance, reduce emissions, mitigate climate-change impacts and accommodate near-term passenger growth.
What’s on the horizon
In the coming years, we plan to begin construction on additional programs — Gateway and T1/T3 Revitalization — that will allow us to support long-term passenger growth and deliver a world-class customer and employee experience. We are currently working with our airport partners to advance planning for this work.
Gateway: Making room to grow
We expect to see 65 million annual passengers per year by the early 2030s - an increase from about 45 million annual passengers today. To prepare for this growth, we are evaluating options for expanding our terminal facilities.
T1/T3 Revitalization: Elevating the passenger experience and optimizing capacity
We plan to invest in Terminals 1 and 3 with modernized retail, amenities and passenger processing spaces, increased digitalization of the passenger journey, renewal of critical assets and new employee areas. Additionally, we will invest in optimizing parking facilities and groundside access, ensuring a smoother arrival and departure experience.
Work is underway
