TORONTO, ON, March 30, 2021 — The Toronto Region Board of Trade recognizes the unique value of the Billy Bishop Airport in connecting Toronto’s central business district to key destinations in Canada and the United States, including Montreal, Ottawa, New York, Washington D.C, and others. It is a key part of a strong network of airports serving the Toronto region.
The proximity of Billy Bishop to the downtown core is an asset for business travellers, offering a significant competitive advantage for the city’s business community. Due to this, it is also of great value in powering our region’s economic recovery as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic – perhaps most notably for our tourism and convention sectors, but others as well.
It is essential that Billy Bishop Airport thrive over the long term as a key element of our region’s transportation infrastructure. Today’s announcement is a proper step towards securing that prosperous future.
