Two airlines apply to use Toronto island airport

TORONTO – The Toronto Port Authority has confirmed that two airlines have applied to provide service at the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport on Toronto island.

The airlines have not yet been identified, but Air Canada expressed interested in adding the island airport to its destination list, as soon as possible. Currently, Porter is the only carrier offering service at the island based airport.

The port authority said they will review the proposals in conjunction with Airport Co-ordination Ltd., a British-based consulting firm hired to help with the assessment. However, they did not say when this would be done.

“Once assessed, the proposals that meet the RFP requirements for additional commercial airline carriers will then be further evaluated by ACL as part of the slot allocation process,” said Geoff Wilson, president and chief executive of the Toronto Port Authority.
