While there are no recommendations relating specifically to the GTAA’s operation of Toronto Pearson, we will await Transport Canada’s review of the report and will work closely with them should there be any changes to the rules and regulations that govern the airport

The report states:
Airbus 340, landed approximately 3,800 feet down Runway 24L, which did not leave adequate stopping distance for the aircraft. Runway 24L is 9,000 feet long and, as confirmed in the report, meets all regulations as set out by Transport Canada. The runway was opened in October 2002 and was designed and built in compliance with all Canadian safety standards.
Would be pretty interesting to see how that crash will change the rules of operations at CYYZ.
