Combien de pistes possède Toronto Pearson?
The Toronto Pearson airfield has five operational runways.

- 05/23
- 06Right (R)/24Left (L)
- 06L/24R
North-South runways:
- 15R/33L
- 15L/33R
Runways are labelled by the first two digits of the compass bearing. These designations correspond to the direction the airplane is heading towards during landing. When more than one runway points in the same direction, the runways are labelled Left (L) or Right (R).
If an aircraft departs from, or arrives on Runway 24L or 24R, it is on a westerly heading. This means that the aircraft would be departing to the west, or arriving from the east towards the west.
