This page captures ADS-B radar data for Toronto Pearson International Airport (CYYZ/YYZ) on February 28, 2025, the 53rd anniversary of the airport's official designation as Toronto International Airport. Over the course of that single day, 1,053 total flights were recorded across 524 arrivals, 519 departures, and 10 touch-and-gos, involving 455 unique aircraft. Traffic ran continuously from 00:00 to 23:59 EST, averaging 43.9 flights per hour. The peak hour was 10:00, which saw 72 movements. A secondary cluster appears in the 19:00 and 20:00 hours, which logged 61 and 65 flights respectively, driven largely by arrivals (48 and 49 in those hours). The dominant routes were Montreal (YUL, 44 total movements), LaGuardia (LGA, 37), and Ottawa (YOW, 31), with Newark (EWR) and Chicago O'Hare (ORD) each recording 28. ENE was the top departure direction with 100 movements, while S led approaches at 93. The fleet was predominantly Canadian-registered (297 aircraft) followed by US-registered (113), with aircraft from 24 additional countries also present. Altitude data spans from ground level up to a recorded maximum of 49,200 feet, with an average of 20,465 feet across 543,560 ADS-B position points. The most concentrated altitude band was 34,000 to 35,000 feet (33,342 points).

About the Airport

Toronto Pearson International Airport traces its origins to 1937, when Malton Airport opened as a modest airfield northwest of Toronto on land in what is now the city of Mississauga. Commercial jet service arrived in the late 1950s, and the airport grew rapidly alongside Toronto itself. In 1972 — 53 years before the date captured in this print — it was officially designated Toronto International Airport, a name that reflected its expanding global role. It was later renamed to honour former Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson.

Geographically, YYZ sits roughly 22 kilometres northwest of downtown Toronto, positioned within one of North America's most densely populated urban corridors. That location makes it a critical node in the continental air network. Air Canada operates its primary hub here, and the airport serves as a major connecting point for transborder, transatlantic, and transpacific routes. WestJet and dozens of international carriers also maintain significant operations at the airport.

The airport operates 5 runways across a sprawling campus anchored by 2 terminal buildings — Terminal 1, which handles most major domestic and international traffic, and the older Terminal 3, used primarily by leisure and low-cost carriers. It consistently ranks among the top airports in North America by passenger volume, handling tens of millions of travelers annually. The surrounding region — often called the Greater Toronto Area — is Canada's economic and financial centre, which means the airport functions as much more than a travel hub. It is a gateway for business, immigration, and trade, woven into the broader story of one of the world's most diverse and rapidly growing metropolitan areas.
