Description

Toronto Pearson International Airport is an international airport in Mississauga and serves as Canada's main aviation hub with connections around the world. It operates through three terminals and five runways that handle all traffic.

Culture

The terminals feature artwork by Canadian artists that reflects the country and its people. Walking through the halls, travelers encounter rotating exhibitions that often tell local stories.
