Smoke was reported inside the control tower at Toronto Pearson Airport in Ontario on October 21, 2026. The situation prompted an immediate evacuation of the tower at Canada’s busiest airport located in the Greater Toronto Area.

Following the evacuation, flight operations at Toronto Pearson Airport experienced delays. Passenger departures and arrivals were disrupted as air traffic control managed reduced capacity during the event, according to reporting by The Ontario Post.
