With 35.6 million passengers annually, the airport functions more like an orchestrated concert of logistics than a sprawling architectural marvel. Frequent flyers will appreciate the well-positioned lounges and efficient transit options, while newcomers may find the dual-terminal configuration a bit challenging, requiring precise terminal identification from the start. At a glance Situated 22.5 kilometers (14 miles) northwest of Downtown Toronto, YYZ acts as a hub for Air Canada, Porter Airlines, and WestJet. Terminal 1 predominantly services airlines like Air Canada, Brussels Airlines, and Emirates, while Terminal 3 is home to carriers such as WestJet, American Airlines, and British Airways. Despite just two terminals, the efficient design serves a vast array of travelers both domestically and internationally. Terminals & layout YYZ's terminals are more than mere structures; they are critical nodes in Toronto's air traffic flow.
