Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is planning major upgrades to its terminals to accommodate a projected 65 million passengers annually by the early 2030s. The renovations include expanding passenger processing areas, adding more retail and dining options, improving wayfinding with biometrics, and modernizing facilities. The project, part of the larger LIFT initiative, also encompasses expanding cargo processing, creating a temporary terminal, enhancing on-time performance, upgrading baggage handling, and reducing emissions.
lately, the city's primary flight hub, Pearson, is on track for some much more substantial development. And, new renderings of what the international airport's revamped terminals will eventually look like just dropped.
So, expect more room at customs and security clearance — 25 new CATSA lanes, a new 7,000-square-metre U.S. pre-clearance facility and 4,000-square-metre CBSA hall— along with some fancy new store and restaurants spaces . Structures and fixtures nearing their end of life will also be renewed along with other "critical assets" ranging from plumbing and electrical systems to paving.
Presently, the gateway and terminal revitalization portions of the LIFT initiative are still in the planning phases, with a request for pre-qualification for the work due in the next two months.
