	Pickering Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pickering Airport is a proposed international airport for Pickering, Ontario, Canada, east of Toronto.
		The original plans for the airport were developed during the 1970s; the current draft plan from the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) calls for construction in a different location on the property to begin in 2010, subject to Canadian federal government approval.

		What was of greater interest to the residents of nearby Pickering is that the continued operation of Buttonville Airport means that a major international airport proposed for a large block of land near Pickering will not be required for many years.
		The Pickering Airport proposal has been a source of local controversy for many years partly due to the large number of expropriations that were undertaken when the lands were acquired and partly due to present day environmental concerns.
		However, the recent announcement stated that if an airport is constructed on the Pickering lands in the future it will serve as a smaller airport to relieve the demand on the Pearson International Airport.
