Network Outage Causes Major Disruptions at Toronto Pearson Airport
Hey everyone, I wanted to give you a quick update on what went down at Toronto Pearson Airport this morning—it’s been a bit of a chaotic scene for travelers.
So here’s the deal: earlier today, Pearson experienced a sudden and unexpected network outage that affected several critical systems across the airport. If you were flying out of Toronto or had someone arriving, you probably felt the ripple effects. From check-in counters to baggage handling, operations slowed to a crawl, especially in Terminals 1 and 3.
Now imagine this—people showing up for early morning flights, only to be greeted by massive lines, confusion, and a serious lack of updates. One passenger said it felt like “a zoo,” and that’s honestly not hard to picture. He was scheduled to fly to the U.S. at 6 a.m., but due to the outage, his flight didn’t take off until noon. That’s a six-hour delay—just brutal.

Baggage systems weren’t functioning properly either, and that added to the backlog. Lots of people were just standing around, unsure of what was happening or when they’d be able to move. Pearson Airport did communicate through social media, alerting the public about the issue not long after 6 a.m. They warned that travelers should expect longer-than-normal check-in times and possible flight impacts.
Thankfully, the airport issued a follow-up around 7 a.m., confirming the network outage had been resolved. Systems were slowly coming back online, and staff were on hand trying to manage the flow of passengers. But even with the fix in place, delays and long lines continued throughout the morning.
As of now, the exact cause of the outage hasn’t been revealed. Whether it was a local technical issue or part of the broader global tech disruptions we’ve been hearing about, it’s still unclear.
If you’re traveling through Pearson anytime soon, I’d strongly recommend arriving extra early and staying connected with the airport’s social media or website for the latest updates. And honestly, bring a little extra patience with you—days like this are a strong reminder of how reliant we’ve become on tech running smoothly behind the scenes.
We’ll keep an eye on this one and let you know if more details come out.
