Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) announced a CAD$1.5-billion contract to launch its Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 Revitalization Program.
The project will focus on upgrading aging infrastructure while improving the passenger experience across both terminals.
Planned improvements include expanded terminal spaces, modernized check-in areas, refreshed lounges, enhanced baggage processing, additional charging stations, upgraded customs and immigration facilities, and advanced security screening technology.
According to the airport, construction will be completed in phases to allow Toronto Pearson to continue operating while minimizing disruptions for travellers and airlines.

The contract was awarded to NORR-DIALOG, a joint venture between Ontario-based firms NORR and DIALOG, along with PCL Construction, a Canadian-headquartered construction company.
The terminal revitalization is the second major project announced under Pearson LIFT, the airport's long-term infrastructure renewal program. In May, Toronto Pearson broke ground on a separate $3-billion project focused on airside infrastructure and baggage systems.
