## Description

Minutes from Toronto's office towers yet sitting on an island, Billy Bishop (YTZ/CYTZ) is a downtown passenger airport rather than a freight handler. Porter Airlines bases its operation here, and since spring 2026 Air Canada has added its first transborder Dash 8-400 flights from downtown Toronto to New York, Boston, Chicago and Washington. A US preclearance facility opened on 10 March 2026, letting travellers clear American customs and immigration before departure. A tripartite agreement caps runway length, aircraft types and night operations, keeping the focus firmly on travellers. There is no cargo terminal and belly capacity is negligible, though Swissport provides apron and passenger handling. Air and express freight for the region moves through Toronto Pearson (YYZ), Canada's largest cargo airport and home to Cargojet, FedEx and UPS. For shippers, YTZ is a convenience gateway for people, not goods.
