À propos Toronto Pearson International Airport

L'aéroport international Toronto Pearson est l'aéroport le plus fréquenté du Canada, situé dans la ville de Mississauga, en Ontario, à environ 22 kilomètres au nord-ouest du centre-ville de Toronto. YYZ a ouvert en 1939 sous le nom d'aéroport de Malton et a été renommé en l'honneur de Lester B. Pearson, ancien Premier ministre du Canada et lauréat du prix Nobel de la paix. L'aéroport accueille plus de 50 millions de passagers par an à travers deux terminaux modernes. Le Terminal 1, exploité par l'Autorité aéroportuaire du Grand Toronto, est principalement utilisé par Air Canada et ses partenaires Star Alliance, tandis que le Terminal 3 dessert WestJet et d'autres compagnies. Pearson est le hub principal d'Air Canada, la compagnie nationale, et un hub important pour WestJet. La position stratégique de Toronto en tant que plus grande ville du Canada et centre financier génère une demande importante de voyages tant d'affaires que de loisirs. L'UP Express offre un service ferroviaire dédié vers la gare Union au centre de Toronto en 25 minutes, tandis que les services GO Transit et MiWay proposent des connexions supplémentaires. L'aéroport exploite cinq pistes, ce qui en fait l'un des plus grands complexes aéroportuaires d'Amérique du Nord. Pearson a subi d'importantes modernisations, dont la reconstruction complète du Terminal 1, inauguré en 2004, et des améliorations continues au Terminal 3.

Can I transfer between terminals at Toronto Pearson without going through security?
Terminals 1 and 3 are connected by the LINK Train, which operates both landside and within the secure area.
