Toronto Pearson is Canada’s busiest airport. It handled 47.3 million passengers in 2025. All flights use two buildings called Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. A free train runs between the two. The large map shows both terminals with their gate areas and train stations. Each terminal also has its own map further down the page.
Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) has two passenger terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, both serving domestic, international and U.S. flights. Air Canada, Air North, Emirates and Etihad operate from Terminal 1. WestJet and Porter use Terminal 3. Check your airline’s terminal before travelling.
The gate letter tells you where the flight goes. In Terminal 1 the D gates serve flights within Canada, E gates are for international departures and F gates for the United States. Terminal 3 uses its A gates for U.S. flights. Domestic and international flights there leave from the B and C gates.

Toronto Pearson Airport Terminals
There are two main terminals serving Toronto Pearson Airport: Terminal 1 and Terminal 3.
Toronto Pearson Airport Terminal 1
Terminal 1 opened in 2004 and is Toronto Pearson’s largest passenger terminal. It is the main hub for Air Canada and many Star Alliance flights. Boarding gates are grouped into three main areas: D for domestic flights, E for international departures and F for U.S. flights.
Terminal 1 has check-in facilities, baggage claim, restaurants, shops and airport lounges. International arrivals go through Canadian border checks. U.S.-bound passengers clear U.S. preclearance before departure. A multi-level parking garage is connected to the terminal by covered walkways.
Toronto Pearson Airport Terminal 3
Terminal 3 opened in 1991 and serves domestic, international and U.S. flights. Its boarding gates are arranged in A, B and C areas. U.S. departures generally use A gates. Domestic and international flights use B and C gates. Always confirm your assigned gate before departure.
The Sheraton Gateway hotel is right across the road. A bridge links it to the terminal. The Terminal Link train stops at the same bridge.
Getting from one terminal to the other is easy with the Terminal Link train. It is free and runs around the clock. The train stops at Terminal 1 on Level 5 of the parking garage and at Terminal 3 next to the Sheraton bridge. The third stop is Viscount station by the Value Park Garage.
