About This Airport

FedEx, UPS, DHL and Canadian express carrier Cargojet anchor the freighter operations at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, joined from 2026 by a weekly Emirates SkyCargo Boeing 777 freighter and the extensive belly capacity of Air Canada Cargo. Canada's largest airport is also its busiest for freight, handling roughly 441,500 tonnes in 2024 — up 3.8% year on year and about 45% of all Canadian air cargo. The Infield Cargo Centre and terminals along Airport Road concentrate handling, cold-chain storage and forwarder space, with operations running around the clock and the Canada Border Services Agency providing on-site customs and inspection. Key commodities include pharmaceuticals, machinery, e-commerce parcels and perishables. Sitting at the junction of Highways 401, 409 and 427, Pearson plugs directly into Canada's densest road network, speeding distribution across the Greater Toronto Area's industrial belt and into the United States. For freight forwarders, YYZ is the essential entry point to the Canadian market.
