Smoke reports led to the evacuation of the apron control tower at Toronto Pearson Airport in Toronto, Canada, on October 22, 2026. The evacuation was prompted by concerns over reported smoke within the control tower facility.
The evacuation disrupted flight operations at Toronto Pearson Airport, causing delays. Passengers experienced extended wait times and were left stranded behind multiple aircraft on the airport tarmac as a result of the interrupted air traffic control services, according to The Ontario Post.
