Toronto Pearson International Airport adding staff, new equipment to deal with snow and ice storms.

Airfield maintenance operations unit has around 180 workers and is responsible for clearing five million square metres of runways, aprons and taxiways.

Airport is Canada ’s busiest passenger air hub and it can see approximately 900,000 travellers a week.

Officials said they will continue to refine procedures as the season progresses.

Toronto Pearson airport equipment includes 46 de-icing vehicles (Vestergaard elephant betas) - 44 plow-sweeper-blower machines, 15 snow blowers and 15 front-end loaders.

“After every major snow event, we have a debrief with our own internal team, with all the stakeholders, on what we have done, where we can improve,” duty manager Andre Nadeau said.
