Toronto Pearson International Airport, or Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport, straddling Mississauga's northeastern boundary with neighbouring Toronto, is Canada's busiest airport and part of the National Airports System

The airport first opened in 1939 as Malton Airport. It was renamed Toronto International Airport in 1960, and then to Lester B. Pearson International Airport (LBPIA) in 1984 in honour of Lester B. Pearson, Canada's 14th prime minister.

On December 2, 1996, operational control of the airport passed from the Government of Canada to the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) as part of the National Airports Policy.
