Did you know Toronto Pearson has an extensive stormwater system made up of both underground and aboveground infrastructure that can process tens of millions of litres of water? Across the airport, four stormwater facilities, together holding the equivalent of 67 Olympic-sized swimming pools, work alongside a network of retention ponds. This system helps manage rainfall, reduce flood risk and prevent contaminants from entering nearby creeks. • Moores Creek Facility: 42 million litres of underground storage, plus another 42 million litres above ground. • Carlingview Stormwater Facility: 17 million litres of underground storage. • Aeroquay Facility: 6.6 million litres underground. • Etobicoke Creek Facility: an above-ground engineered wetland with capacity for 57.8 million litres. Together, these facilities collect and treat stormwater so it meets environmental standards before being released back into the natural system. Here's a look at the underground portion of Moores Creek:

The first of today’s 133,526 travellers are making their way through the terminals as we prepare for 458 arrivals and 460 departures. Of those flights, 310 will arrive from and depart to airports across Canada, with a two-way tie for the busiest domestic route between Vancouver (YVR) and Calgary (YYC), with 40 flights each. Weather-wise, we’re trading yesterday’s double-digit temperatures for thunderstorms today, with the forecast showing the potential for lightning and rain throughout the day. When lightning strikes within eight kilometres of the airport, our lightning warning system activates to alert employees working outdoors that it’s time to seek shelter indoors.

It’s a wet, snowy morning at the airport as the first of today’s 111,895 travellers make their way through the terminals, with 878 flights scheduled. The forecast is calling for 8–10 cm of snow. Our crews have been out all night clearing snow from the runways, taxiways and aprons, and they’ll be working throughout the day to stay ahead of the snowfall. A traffic management initiative is in place to help regulate the flow of departing aircraft. This may affect some flights as we prioritize safe, steady movement across the airfield.

Snow clearing operations continue on the airfield after 46cm of snow fell at Toronto Pearson. Air traffic management initiatives remain in place to safely manage aircraft movements. The severe winter weather impacted flights to and from Toronto Pearson, and flight schedules may change throughout the day as airlines work to restore normal operations following yesterday’s delays and cancellations. Flights to and from Atlantic Canada and certain parts of the U.S. may be impacted today as the system moves through the region. Passengers are advised to check directly with their airline before coming to the airport. Those travelling to Toronto Pearson should allow extra time and drive safely. For passengers taking the UP Express, please note it is operating every 30 minutes. We will continue to provide operational updates throughout the day.

Every day, flights arriving and departing from Toronto Pearson cover hundreds of thousands of kilometres — from short trips to London, Ont., to long-haul journeys as far as Manila, Philippines. With Artemis II scheduled to return to Earth later today, we wanted to compare how a day’s worth of flights at Toronto Pearson stacks up against the mission’s 1,118,000-kilometre, 10-day journey around the moon. Today’s 999 scheduled flights will cover a combined 2,817,147 kilometres — roughly 2.5 times the distance Artemis II will travel on its journey around the Moon and back to Earth.

It's a snowy morning at the airport, with the forecast calling for up to 10 cm of snow, mainly falling over the next few hours before tapering off to light flurries this afternoon. Our crews at the Airfield Maintenance Facility are ready to plow runways, taxiways and apron areas to keep them safe for operations, while teams at the Central Deicing Facility are gearing up to deice aircraft. It’s expected to be a busy morning, with all departing flights heading to the facility for a spray before takeoff. A traffic management initiative is in place to help regulate the flow of departing aircraft. Travellers are encouraged to check their flight status before coming to the airport.

Here's a look at snow clearing operations on the apron at Terminal 1. Our teams use front-end loaders to load large volumes of snow into inground and portable snow melters. This process enables us to keep critical apron surfaces cleared of snow to support airport operations.

Toronto Pearson is breaking records this year at its Central Deicing Facility. January was the busiest month in the airport's history, with a record 6,000 aircraft deiced. It's been an exceptionally bustling season for our teams, and winter isn’t over yet. So far, more than 16,800 planes have been deiced — already surpassing the typical annual total of 16,500 and marking an increase of over 4,000 aircraft compared to the same point last year.

It’s a bitterly cold morning on the airfield, with temperatures at -13°C but feeling like -22°C with the windchill. Departing aircraft are moving through the Central Deicing Facility, where deicing operations are underway. Today, we’re expecting 121,212 travellers to move through the terminals, with approximately 60 per cent travelling through Terminal 1. Today’s traveller breakdown: • Terminal 1: 70,871 • Terminal 3: 50,341 In these extreme cold conditions, outdoor crews must take more frequent warming breaks to limit exposure. While this can slow some airfield operations, it is essential to protect the health and safety of everyone working outside.
