1 week ago Entire Toronto transit line will shut down for the whole weekend

In case air travel wasn't already enough of a challenge right now, travellers relying on the UP Express will be forced to get to and from Toronto Pearson International Airport this weekend via buses.Metrolinx has announced a full-line outage for the UP Express throughout the weekend of Saturday, Nov. 8 and Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025, due to ongoing construction.Trains will not serve any of the four stations along the UP Express during the outage, and Metrolinx's plan to implement replacement buses may require commuters to tack on extra travel time when planning their trips.Travel times could be as much as double between Union Station in downtown Toronto and Pearson International Airport straddling the Toronto-Mississauga boundary, with trips on the express rail line to be replaced by GO buses forced to weave through city traffic.While the UP Express moves passengers between downtown and the airport in as little as 25 minutes, Metrolinx warns that replacement GO buses will cover th...

2 w. ago British pilot scolded by Toronto air traffic control on approach to Pearson Airport

A tense radio exchange between a Toronto air traffic controller and a British Airways pilot has garnered widespread attention.The video uploaded to the YouTube aviation channel VASAviation captures the heated moments before British Airways flight BAW9ZY, a routine nonstop service from London Heathrow to Pearson Airport, prepared to land earlier this month. "Speedbird 9ZY heavy, confirm we're cleared for the approach?" the pilot asks, using the airline's signature call sign "Speedbird," and the term "heavy," which denotes larger aircraft of 300,000 pounds or greater that have the potential to create wake turbulence, a risk for smaller planes flying nearby. Instead of confirming, the controller simply responds, "Go back to arrival, please, Speedbird. Arrival frequency. Go back to Arrival." The British Airways pilot, who is seemingly confused, then asks for the correct frequency, to which the c...
