Toronto Island Airport

This photo shows Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ), taken from the CN Tower’s observation platform around sunset. It's fascinating to know that before 2015, the only way to reach the airport from the city was by taking a very short ferry ride — just 122 meters across — making it one of the shortest ferry services in the world. After 2015, a pedestrian tunnel was finally built, allowing people to walk directly to the airport from downtown Toronto. This made traveling much more convenient, especially during bad weather. Looking at the photo, you can see how the airport sits right on the edge of Lake Ontario, with its runways stretching out into the water, giving passengers a unique flying experience right in the heart of the city.

Billy Bishop is unique in that it's an island airport—connected to the mainland by a short tunnel and ferry service. It's mostly used for regional flights, especially by Porter Airlines, and is known for its proximity to the city center, making it highly convenient for business and short-haul travelers.
