I think dusk is when this airport looks its best.

BlackFlag · February 25th, 2005, 03:05 AM

Thanks for the update on Pearson!

mvern2 · April 11th, 2005, 06:54 AM

The New Terminal One @ Pearson is soo beautiful.....amoung all the controversy behind it, TO needed a new terminal...one that would scrap the aging old terminal one and terminal 2...

they made it look good..thats for sure!

Confused Philosopher · April 12th, 2005, 01:49 AM

nice pics, hksyline.

The terminal itself is a bit bland... but it's light years better than the one they had before.

To make way for the new Pier F 'Hammerhead', demolition of a portion of Terminal 2 has just been completed...

The northern face of Pier F is extensively finished, they are now installing the jetbridges and light fixtures - due to be operational in early 2007...

Travis007 · January 10th, 2006, 02:30 AM

Thanks for the update.

Good news that Terminal 2 is being demolished. I've always found it to be boring and depressing looking. I can't wait to see the Hammerhead completed.

YAY i was looking forward to this day.

***Taller, Better*** · January 10th, 2006, 05:37 AM

^Me too! I hope it blowed up reel good.
I used to call it Terminal Illness.

snoopy · January 11th, 2006, 12:28 AM

omg! good good good... stupid terminal 2 i hated it for all my national flights... its a bunker. i'm really glad its gone now.

Bertez · January 11th, 2006, 02:32 AM

Incredible.....though I just wish they put in glass jetways instead of the 'covered' ones.....also, I can't wait to see pics of the hammerhead

Skybean · January 12th, 2006, 01:21 AM

Great shot of Mississauga

Bertez · January 13th, 2006, 11:52 PM

That's true

Pozerifik · May 26th, 2006, 12:22 AM

Here's some pics from May 2....much of the work on pier F is now on the inside....

north side of the pier is pretty much done...

on the south side, work continues...

after the pier opens in early 2007, the rest of old Terminal 2 will be demolished...

Awesome pics. Can't wait for Terminal 2 to be gone. Then we'll have Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. That'll be weird!

Yes, will be nice to see the end of the "Terminal Sickness".

...I just wish they put in glass jetways instead of the 'covered' ones.....

I completely agree- All of things should have been done differently on this terminal.

Not to rain on anyone's parade here, but I find this airport dull..but this is, IMO a North American thing- (see Detroits new McNamara Terminal)- many new airports seem to have the same dull grey exteriors with dull white interiors- there is little colour and little imagination- especially in comparison to what is happening elsewhere in the world with regards to airport development: Madrid Barajas, Beijing, or Singepore..

Maybe its me, but I think we missed the opportunity to do something more unique and interesting, instead we ended up with a terminal that could be placed anywhere in NA...don' get me wrong, i think this is an improvement and its spacious and has some nice parts to it, but on the whole i think its a shame we let such a large project turn out so dull.

... Toronto is AFRAID of Colour!!! This city looks down on colour like its a threat.

Look at schipol (amsterdam) with it's dark interior and bright colours - Toronto ranks low on the list of remarkable airports - again - because the people that run this country are so fuckin' conservative.

zerokarma · May 26th, 2006, 04:07 PM

Nice pictures and good updated!

I still have yet to visit the new Terminal 1, all my flights seem to take off from Terminal 3 so I never get the chance.
