One site selected was on the Toronto Islands in Downtown Toronto, which is the present-day Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. The other site selected was an area northwest of Toronto near the town of Malton, which was originally intended to serve as an alternate to the downtown airport but instead would become its successor. The first scheduled passenger flight at the Malton Airport [no publications in OCLC database] was a Trans-Canada Air Lines DC-3 that landed on August 29, 1939. In 1958, the City of Toronto sold the Malton Airport to Transport Canada, who subsequently changed the name of the facility to Toronto International Airport. The airport was officially renamed Lester B. Pearson International Airport in 1984. The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) assumed management, operation, and control of the airport in 1996, and has used the name Toronto Pearson International Airport for the facility since their acquisition) Structurae website, July 8, 2018 (Toronto Pearson International Airport) Report of the Senate Special Committee ... 1995: title page (Pearson Airport) page vi, etc. (Lester B.
