Toronto Pearson international airport marks successful summer travel season with new campaign

The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) is launching a new marketing campaign: ‘At Your Airport this Summer’. It helps recognise a successful summer travel season at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

This campaign aims to celebrate and share Pearson Airport’s achievements over the course of the summer 2023 travel season, showcasing the scale of operations and highlighting the smooth movement of people and bags.

Here are some of the numbers highlighted in ‘At Your Airport this Summer:’

1. 12.6 million passengers: YYZ welcomed 12.6 million passengers at the airport – which is an increase of close to a million passengers from the same time period in summer 2022

2. 8.3 million pieces of luggage: YYZ’s team processed 8.3 million pieces of luggage – which is an increase of over a million pieces of luggage from the same time period in summer 2022

3. 100,000 flights: Pearson Airport had an impressive 100,000 flights depart and arrive from runways – including more commercial, general aviation and cargo planes than in summer 2022.

4. Four million cups of coffee: four million cups of coffee were served at the airport, keeping people energised and ready for the next step of their journey!

“We are proud of the successful operations that took place during summer travel season at Toronto Pearson” said Karen Mazurkewich, Vice-President of Stakeholder Relations and Communications, GTAA.  “These numbers not only reflect the volume of passengers that travelled through Canada’s largest, and most connected hub, but speak to the progress our employees and partners have made since summer 2022.”

‘At Your Airport this Summer’ was designed to reflect flight boards and gates at Pearson Airport, and reflects our ongoing milestones for the year.
