Is Toronto Pearson closed at night?
Toronto Pearson is open 24 hours a day. Night operations are a mix of cargo and passenger services. Toronto Pearson manages a Night Flight Restriction Program to manage the impact of aircraft noise during the restricted hours (12:30–6:30 a.m.). Transport Canada has imposed annual limits on the total number of night flights at Toronto Pearson to ensure that flights during the restricted period remain proportionate to overall traffic levels. The GTAA uses a night preferential runway system from midnight to 6:30 a.m. using flight paths that impact the fewest people. The order of priority for preferential runways is: Runway 23, 33R and 24R for departures, and Runway 05, 15L and 06L for arrivals.
