S4 Episode 2: The Global Significance of Toronto’s Pearson International Airport with CEO Howard Eng

from Electric Cities · host ULI Toronto

As the most international airport in North America with services to 163 international destinations, Toronto’s Pearson International Airport is the largest airport in Canada, handling just under 50 million passengers and 300 tons of cargo per year. It is arguably the most vital transportation hub in the country while significantly contributing to Toronto’s local and regional economy. With a rapid population growth projected for the Toronto region over the next number of decades, Pearson has developed an ambitious, long-term expansion plan, including a massive new multi-modal transit hub that would connect numerous local and regional transit lines right at the airport’s doorstep. Jeremy sat down with the airport’s CEO, Howard Eng in late 2019 to talk about Pearson’s importance in making Toronto a global city.
