Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport

Meet Carlie, her sons Reggie and Jack, and her sister Christiana, who are en route to Halifax onboard Porter Airlines Inc. They’re all from sunny Barbados, but Christiana now lives in Toronto, so Carlie and the boys took some time before the east coast trip to hang out with her and see the sights. Now that they’ve got their fill of Canada’s largest city, they’re ready to head out east for a family member’s bat mitzvah.   “Everybody's super nice and friendly,” Carlie said of their experience at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. “It’s been easy coming across from where Christiana stays just to hop over here.” With a quick Uber ride from Toronto’s Beaches neighbourhood, they found YTZ’s accessible location and friendly atmosphere the perfect way to kick off their trip.   Whether for Toronto residents or visitors, we’re pleased to offer a stress-free experience that makes family travel a breeze. Enjoy your time in Halifax, you four!   #TOTakesFlight #batmitzvah #connectivity #travel #YTZ #family #airports #aviation Nieuport Aviation

This week’s #TOTakesFlight features Benjamin and Duc, miners who frequently travel from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport to Thunder Bay onboard Porter Airlines Inc., and then on to the Musselwhite gold mine in northwestern Ontario. For them, #YTZ has become an essential part of their journey every two weeks.   “It’s always been nice,” Benjamin told us of the YTZ’s convenience. “You get straight downtown. Everything’s great about it.”   Gold is among Canada's most valuable mined commodities, with a production value of $13.2 billion in 2022. Global demand for minerals like gold is on the rise, with this demand helping to create new jobs and economic opportunities in northern Ontario. In fact, Ontario has been a leader in mining for almost a century, responsible for one-third of Canada’s total mined metal production.    Thanks for choosing YTZ, Benjamin and Duc! We’re so happy to be a part of your bi-weekly commute as you help to drive such an important industry for Ontario and Canada’s economy. Safe travels, and we’ll see you the next time you pass through!    #airports #Aviation #mining #ontario #Toronto #Musselwhite #gold #connectivity

We recently caught up with Louise and Kaitlin, frequent travelers passing through Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport on their way to Sault Ste. Marie and Wawa for work. This interior design duo from X-Design Inc., a boutique Toronto-based commercial interiors firm, is headed north for a project at a large healthcare facility. Given their busy schedules, they value the easygoing pace at #YTZ.   “I love it because it’s so quick,” says Kaitlin. “There are no long security lines. Especially for me, coming from Cambridge, I can gauge my time a little better.”   “It's just a lot more chill,” adds Louise. “I feel like I'm a VIP when I'm here—like I’m taken care of.”   Thanks for the kind words about the vibe at the airport, Kaitlin and Louise. It means a lot coming from two people who know a thing or two about creating an ambience! Safe travels, and we’ll see you the next time you’re headed up north!    #TOTakesFlight #ItsMyAirport #Travel #Aviation #Airports #ConvenientTravel #interiordesign Nieuport Aviation

This year, we are celebrating a remarkable milestone in our city’s history – Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport's 85th Anniversary. As part of this celebration, today we were joined by Heritage Toronto, MP James Maloney to unveil a commemorative plaque honouring the airport’s history and role in the development of aviation in Toronto.

Improving the passenger journey is a wholistic approach to making air travel more efficient. In the context of business, this is making transportation in and out of our major centres as seamless as possible. Minutes are valuable in businesses, they truly are money. And shaving minutes off the movements of business travellers is an important aspect of making our urban centres competitive from a global trade perspective and our airport journeys seamless. Great piece by Laura Dawson at Future Borders Coalition on the need for a supportive policy environment and continued investment in technology and infrastructure. Governments on both sides of the border and industry must work together to anticipate problems and maximize efficiencies wherever possible. DYK - When Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (PortsToronto) preclearance becomes fully operational in fall of 2025, GTA will be home to the only two global preclearance facilities in Canada, two of only 15 in the world.

Did you know that a staggering 31% of adults report missing a whole day of meals because they did not have enough money for food? Here in Toronto, there were 2.53 million food bank visits last year, underscoring the vital need for all of us to help where we can to address food insecurity, particularly as we move into the holiday season.   We believe that the best airports don’t just serve their communities, but are also an integral part of them. That’s why we’ve once again partnered with Daily Bread Food Bank on a month-long donation drive to help thousands of families facing hunger and food insecurity this holiday season. Passengers, employees from across the airport ecosystem, and anyone else passionate about ensuring no one in Toronto goes hungry this holiday season are encouraged to donate by simply tapping their debit or credit card at locations throughout the passenger terminal, or by visiting the drive’s webpage at https://lnkd.in/eNqbvYig.
