On April 25, 2022, our President and CEO, Deborah Flint, welcomed The Honourable Omar Alghabra, Canada’s Minister of Transport, to Toronto Pearson for a ground-breaking ceremony to mark the Runway 06L/24R rehabilitation. Local elected officials, GTAA executives and representatives from Dufferin Construction and Avia NG were also on hand.
