Opened in 1939 as Malton Airport (Malton City, currently part of Mississauga City), it was renamed twice, most recently in 1984, in homage to a Canadian Prime Minister, Lester Bowles Pearson, who was born in Malton.

The airport has three passenger terminals and five airstrips, currently serving about 35 million passengers a year. It is currently undergoing an expansion process, which will increase its annual capacity to about 50 million by 2015. The main airline at the airport is Air Canada.
