With the blue being Transborder, Purple being swing, pink being strictly international. It would move current transborder swing flights out of Pier E.
Not disagreeing, just arguing that not all transborder planes should be moved to Pier G and all international flights should be only in Pier F.Thing is all of this can be accomplished by simply sticking to the original plan and building pier G. We are reinventing the wheel here, and for no reason.
I can't imagine the cost of building pier G is that significant in comparison to what is being planned at the transit hub...
For the record, after 9/11 there are specific requirements on handling passengers to and from the USA that are different than other international departures. A trans- order pier will make the operation of all airlines using it more efficient and more consistent.Not disagreeing, just arguing that not all transborder planes should be moved to Pier G and all international flights should be only in Pier F.

I haven't used T1 in couple years now. Been using T3 a lot mostly for transborder flights. The experience is really suboptimal. Huge crowds, no lounge access within transborder section (I think there is one for AA, but none for Skyteam) etc. The never-ending construction at T3 is tiring. It feels that the main concourse been under some sort of construction for the last 10 years. Similar situation inside the piers.
Since 2004, we went from having one of the nicest airports in North America to one of the cramped. Out of NA airports, I can only think of a few that feel as cramped as YYZ. We went from 28mln in 2004 to 47 mln passengers in 2017. Yet, facilities have not changed much in that timeframe.
Consider the following...
Those 28 million passengers in 2004 were flown in on 355,000 aircraft movements. Last year 44 million passengers were flown in on 419,000 aircraft movements. Passenger numbers have nearly doubled but aircraft numbers have only increased 18%.
Is anyone else surprised how fast this thing happened? It took like a year to pick a consultant to design the DRL...HOK retained to design Pearson's new transit hub
