Toronto Pearson International makes Facebook’s list of most social airports

The home of the Maple Leafs, the CN Tower and Canada's favourite mayor is also home to the most "social" airport north of the border.

Toronto Pearson International has been recognized as one of the top 25 social airports in the world and is the only Canadian mention to crack Facebook's list at number 21.
