Accelerator
The first program under Pearson LIFT has begun will be delivered using a progressive design-build model. Accelerator will provide vital upgrades and revitalization of our airport assets, aiming to improve our on-time performance, advance sustainability and accommodate near-term passenger growth.
What’s on the horizon
In the coming years, we plan to begin construction on additional programs — T1/T3 Revitalization and Gateway — that will allow us to support long-term passenger growth and deliver a world-class customer and employee experience. We are currently in the competitive procurement phase for both of these programs.
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 vibrant employee areas. Additionally, we will invest in optimizing parking facilities and groundside access, ensuring a smoother arrival and departure experience.
Gateway: Making room to grow
We expect to see 65 million annual passengers per year by the early 2030s - an increase from about 46.8 million annual passengers today. To prepare for this growth, we are evaluating options for expanding our terminal facilities.
The Gateway program will add net new terminal space designed to accommodate an additional 15 million passengers annually and provide a world-class passenger experience.
