Toronto Pearson International Airport

Toronto Pearson International Airport in north-eastern Mississauga (Malton) is a center for Air Canada and provides flights to all regional, national, and international destinations. The airport received its name from one of the most distinguished modern personnages in Canadian and International Diplomacy. Lester Pearson, the first Canadian to be appointed ambassador to the United Nations is credited with the development of the current system of diplomacy known popularly as "crisis intervention." The foundation of the security council was another one of his innovations. It is inevitable that Pearson would have been selected as the first General Secretary of the United Nations, but, the proposal was vetoed by the Soviet block.

Today Toronto Pearson International Airport sends planes to all the major countries that Pearson's work helped to sustain with peace during his lifetime. The airport acts as the springboard for a network of inter-continental flights that help to bind together cities throughout the globe, serving the same goal of world unity, and peaceful international commerce and existence, that Pearson and the institution he help found sought to do.

While named after Toronto, the airport is actually situated within the thriving metropolitan area of Mississauga. Mississauga is an amazing town that has swollen from a small city to a vibrant urban center of greater than 700,000 residents. It harbors successful burgeoning commercial centers and a clean record of solid family life and very low crime rates. The sum total of all the industrial areas within a day's drive of the airport is believed to be the richest commercial area in North America.

The city of Mississauga proudly supports Lester Pearson International Airport with a variety of airport transportation modalities including buses, shuttles, Mississauga airport taxis and Mississauga airport limos. Because of its convenience to the airport, Mississauga hosts a number of business meetings and conventions at hotels and centers within easy commute from the airport. Just a 5-15 minute drive from the airport in a Mississauga limo or taxi, and a businesman coming from hundreds of miles away can be comfortably settled in a swank hotel and preparing to meet with his colleagues at a nearby meeting hall or convention center.
