Toronto Airport Arrivals (YYZ)

Flight Arrivals at Toronto Airport

Toronto Pearson Airport was opened in 1939 as Malton Airport. However, in 1958, the municipal government of Toronto sold the Malton Airport to the Government of Canada. At that time the airport was renamed Toronto International Airport, under the management of Transport Canada. In 1984 the airport was officially renamed Lester B. Pearson International Airport in honor of Lester B. Pearson, who was the fourteenth Prime Minister of Canada. In 2019, the airport handled 50.5 million passengers and was thereby the 30th-busiest airport in the world measured by passenger traffic. The passenger number is increasing year by year.
