On October 21, 2026, smoke was reported inside the control tower at Toronto Pearson Airport in Canada, prompting an immediate evacuation of the facility.

The evacuation disrupted air traffic management at Pearson Airport and caused delays for flights operating through the airport. Passengers experienced delayed departures and arrivals as a result of the incident, which temporarily paused normal tower operations.
