Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario – The Sault Ste. Marie Airport Development Corporation wishes to advise passengers that are travelling to / from or through Toronto Pearson that they may experience flight delays or cancellations due to construction at Toronto Pearson and also the onset of a major weather event.

Currently there is runway construction that is taking place at Toronto Pearson that has created reduced runway capacity and is impacting aircraft traffic into and out of Toronto Pearson.  The construction is taking place on one of Toronto Pearson’s major runways 05/23 which is one of Canada’s busiest runways.  The runway has been completely closed since April 24th and will continue as such until May 16th for the current phase of construction.  Updates on the construction at Toronto Pearson can be found on their website through this link https://www.torontopearson.com/updates/#
