Last Flight Leaves Toronto Pearson's Terminal 2

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. (CP) - The last flight to leave from Terminal 2 at Pearson International Airport in Toronto will taxi away tonight at 9:30 p.m. ET.

The terminal, which opened in 1972, will be demolished, starting in April, as part of an eight-year, $4.5-billion airport redevelopment that began in 1998.

The building materials will be recycled in a project that will take 18 months to complete.

Starting tomorrow, flights which had been handled at Terminal 2 will move to Terminal 1 Pier F - a new $800 million high-tech facility featuring the latest in security technology.

All Air Canada, Air Canada Jazz and Air Canada Vacations passengers will use Terminal 1 when arriving or departing on U.S. flights.

The airline says this means that for the first time in many years, Air Canada will be located under one roof at its main operating hub.
