Our region is growing and so is demand for air travel.
Over the next three decades, the population of Southern Ontario is set to reach 15 million and its GDP will double, totalling $1.1 trillion. Our Master Plan outlines our short, medium and long-term plans for responding to forecasts for air travel generated by regional and global demand.
The Master Plan
- Provides a snapshot of our existing facilities, conditions and capabilities
- Examines future needs
- Establishes the Land Use Plan for the Airport
- Serves as a blueprint for the development of our physical facilities

The Master Plan is updated every 10 years, as part of our ground lease with Transport Canada.
Ground lease: our responsibilities
We have a 60-year ground lease with the federal government, which began on December 2, 1996. The ground lease stipulates that we must actively manage and operate Pearson at our own cost and expense, in a reputable manner as a First-Class Facility and a Major International Airport. The terms of ground lease state that we must return the airport back to the federal government as an efficiently run asset.
