Nighttime Runaway Maintenance At Toronto Pearson Airport – April 1st And April 8th –

Upcoming overnight runway maintenance at Toronto Pearson may result in temporary changes to runway usage and community impacts between April 1 and 8, 2025.

What’s happening?

Toronto Pearson’s annual routine maintenance season is now underway. As part of the 2025 seasonal program, we are notifying you of the upcoming nighttime runway closures scheduled between April 1 and April 8, 2025.

  • Runway 05/23 will be closed from midnight to 6:00 AM
  • Runway 15L/33R will be closed from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM

As always, these dates are weather-dependent and may shift if conditions require.

What is the impact for local communities?

Due to the temporary closure of Nighttime Preferential Runways, aircraft’s may need to use alternate runways that are not typically used overnight, including:

  • Runway 06L/24R (primary alternative during closure)
  • Runway 15L (used for long-haul departures requiring greater runway length, up until 2:00 AM)

 

As a result, residents in areas not usually affected by nighttime aircraft noise may notice changes during this period.

How are we notifying residents and stakeholders?

  • Noise Advisory Calendar: The calendar has been updated to reflect this maintenance work. We encourage you to share it with residents who are sensitive to aircraft noise.
  • WebTrak Notification: A notice will appear on our WebTrak tool, which provides near-real-time information about flights and aircraft noise.
