GardaWorld will notably serve two of the largest international airports in Canada, Toronto Pearson Airport and Montreal-Trudeau International Airport, which between them welcome a total of 55 million travelers per year.

These five-year deals are valued at approximately $2.7 billion in total, with two options to extend for five years each. The agreements will come into effect on April 1, 2024.
