Pearson has 3 east-west and 2 north-south runways. Having served almost 45 million passengers in 2023, there is a lot of activity on the tarmac.

During Toronto's long and cold winters, de-icing takes place on the tarmac in a centralized area. They're used to winter conditions so the whole process is very organized and structured with a capacity to handle 500 aircraft a day. De-icing fluid that runs off the aircraft drain into special outlets to be recycled and kept away from the natural environment.
