## Description

Minutes from Toronto's office towers yet sitting on an island, Billy Bishop is a downtown passenger airport rather than a freight handler. Porter Airlines bases its operation here alongside Air Canada, flying turboprops and new Embraer jets to Canadian and US destinations; in 2024 it ranked among Canada's ten busiest airports. A tripartite agreement caps runway length, aircraft types and night operations, keeping the focus firmly on travellers. Belly cargo is negligible and there is no freight terminal, though Swissport provides apron and passenger handling. Air and express freight for the city moves through Toronto Pearson (YYZ), Canada's largest cargo airport, home to Cargojet, FedEx and UPS. For shippers, YTZ is a convenience gateway for people, not goods.
