Pearson LIFT is a long-term infrastructure modernization program at Toronto Pearson Airport involving a $3 billion investment in airside and baggage systems. The first phase includes upgrades to airfield technology, baggage-handling systems, EV-charging infrastructure, taxiways, new baggage carousels in Terminal 1, expanded aircraft stands, and a high-speed taxiway to improve aircraft movement. The program aims to support expansion and modernization over the next decade, increasing capacity to handle 65 million passengers annually and creating 16,000 new airport jobs.
