Toronto Airport, with the official IATA code of YYZ, is the largest and most important airport in Canada. It is also amongst the busiest airports in the world for international passenger traffic. The airport is named after the late Canadian Prime Minister, Lester Bowles Pearson, and is therefore also referred to as the Lester B. Pearson International Airport, or simply as the Pearson Airport. It’s passenger numbers exceed thirty million every year, and are expected to reach up to fifty-five million in later years. Toronto Pearson Airport directions are simple to follow, as the airport can be accessed by a couple of main roads. Detailed airport directions are also available online.
Toronto Pearson Airport is located approximately 22.5km, or 14 miles northwest of Downtown Toronto, and the majority of the airport’s facilities fall under the municipality of Mississauga. Toronto is the largest city in Canada, and is part of the Ontario region of the country. The airport serves the city of Toronto, its metropolitan area and the Golden Horseshoe district, which is home to over eight million people. To the west of Toronto Airport is Brampton, and to the south is Mississauga. Areas that are also particularly nearby include Hanlan, Marvin Heights, The Elms, Richview and Eringate. Toronto and its airport are also located alongside the north-western shores of the Lake Ontario. On a larger scale, Toronto can be described as to the south of Barrie, to the east/northeast of London and Kitchener, to the southwest of Montreal and Ottawa, and to the north of Norfolk, St. Catharines and Hamilton.

Other roads also lead to the cargo area in the north, and are restricted for public use.
