No Toronto in the Airport list?

[slipstream]

Hi all. I'm new here and when I went to the Main Airports list under Canada, there is no Toronto. I did a search for Toronto, CYYZ, and CYTZ and did not find an answer. Am I missing something here or is there no Toronto? Thanks, eh.

Are you sure Toronto Airport is called as such. it may have another name. Quite often the main airport for a place is not actually in the city it denotes. For example Bristol Airport is in somerset, not Bristol, in some weird villiage

EDIT: i stand corrected, there is such an airport as you were looking for. then what you need to do is submit the airport to the database if it doesnt exist.

FSNovice, thanks for the quick reply. I've added it to the airports under CYYZ. Thanks, again.

Don't bother adding it, go to L, it's called Lester B Pearson.

Yep, the main airport of Toronto is called Toronto Pearson International.

How could konny miss it if its the busiest and the largest airport in Canada?

P.S The code of Toronto Pearson is CYYZ.

Hope that helps,

go to L, it's called Lester B Pearson

It's on there but not under T.

Yep, the main airport of Toronto is called Toronto Pearson International.

Maybe colloquially, but if you look at the NAV Canada and Jeppessen charts, it's listed as "Lester B. Pearson International" as the name and "Toronto" as the location. In fact, NAV Canada's charts don't even show it's in Toronto, only that it's Lester B Pearson International. It also doesn't mention that either of the main Montreal airports (Dorval or Trudeau) are in Montreal.

Haha I never knew that, thanks for letting me know,

It's one of those annoying things about "airside" versus "landside" that a lot of people don't understand.

When I speak of "airside" I mean people who work for the airline, whether it be on the ramp; in the cockpit or cabin; or the operations, dispatch, or ticketing centers. "Landside" refers to all passengers and non-airline industry people who only see what's on their ticket and/or on the departure/arrival screens in the airport or online.

Airside, we see some wierd things go on around airport names and sometimes it makes our lives miserable because charts get moved and renamed almost monthly, so we have to go in and update our charts to keep them current. This also causes computer system updates as well that for the IT people can be just as annoying when the automatic updating system inevitibly doesn't automatically update.

Some examples of major airports that don't have their location in them off the top of my head-

Lester B. Pearson International
General Edward Lawrence Logan International
John F. Kennedy International
La Guardia

These are all "well known" airports, but most people put the airport city in there somewhere. In reality, they officialy don't have the city in the name.

correct me if i'm wrong but Airside LFPG is
Roissy Charles de Gaulle. It's not in Paris, it's in Roissy

[CAPFlyer]

Yes, it's Roissy-Charles De Gaulle. Roissy is actually the north complex and almost a completely separate airport except it's connected to De Gaulle, so they consider it to be a single airport.

Looking at the image, Terminal 1, FedEx, and the north runways are Roissy. Terminal 2, the south runways and South Cargo are De Gaulle. Together they make Roissy-Charles De Gaulle.

thought so, because the same turn off on the French Autoroute as CDG airport is sign posted Roissy. (and i have stayed in the Hotel B&B Roissy)
