Presentation Abstract

Toronto Pearson International Airport is Canada’s busiest airport and ranks as one of the busiest 30 airports in the world. It handles more than 1,200 arrivals and departures every day. The airport is managed and operated by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority.

By the year 2020, the number of travelers passing through the airport is expected to reach 50 million and in order to meet the growing air travel needs of the region, the GTAA has undertaken a 10-year, $4.4 billion Airport Development Program the cornerstone of which is the construction of a new terminal which will replace two of the three existing terminals.

This presentation will relate how, during the course of this Airport Development Program, IT&T evolved into a major service delivery agent for the organization as well as becoming a party to all executive management and decision making.
