BILLY BISHOP · YTZ · DOWNTOWN TORONTO ISLAND

Billy Bishop, steps from downtown.

Toronto's island airport — a pedestrian tunnel or a 90-second ferry from the mainland, minutes from the financial district. Porter's home base, and the fastest arrival in the city once you know the drop-off.

YTZ · THE AIRPORT

Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) sits on the Toronto Islands, directly across from the downtown core. It's the home base of Porter Airlines, with Air Canada also flying regional routes. Because it's on an island, there's no direct road to the terminal — travellers cross by a pedestrian tunnel under the harbour or a 90-second ferry.

That makes the pickup unlike any other airport. Your chauffeur meets you at the mainland terminal entrance at the foot of Bathurst, so you step off the tunnel or ferry and straight into the car — no island parking, no confusion.

HOW YOUR YTZ TRANSFER WORKS

Four steps, nothing to think about.

01

You book in 90 seconds

Tell us pickup, drop-off and flight number. Your flat rate is locked on the spot — no card charged until you confirm.

02

We track your flight

Dispatch watches your flight from wheels-up. Land early, we’re early. Sit on the tarmac, the meter never starts.

03

Your chauffeur is staged

Meet-and-greet inside arrivals with a name board, or curbside the moment you call — your choice when you book.

04

Door to door, flat rate

Bags loaded, you’re moving. The number you saw at booking is the number you pay. No surge, no tolls surprise, no 4 a.m. premium.

FOUR WAYS TO LAND · ONE PROMISE

However you arrive at YTZ, we know the script.

MEET & GREET

Inside arrivals, name board up

Driver waits in the arrivals hall with your name, helps with bags, walks you to the car. Best for international arrivals, family, or a first visit.

CURBSIDE

Call when you clear, car in minutes

Driver staged at the cell-phone lot. A quick call the moment you have your bags — the car is at your pillar within a few minutes. Fastest for domestic and frequent flyers.

GROUP

Sprinter or party bus, one vehicle

Family of seven, a team with gear, a corporate group inbound. Group transport with lounge seating — everyone and every bag in one vehicle, one bill.

LATE NIGHT

After midnight, same flat rate

A 12:40 a.m. customs clearance is no different to us. Real human dispatch on call, up to 90 minutes of wait built in, and never a surge for the hour.

MORE THAN A PICKUP

YTZ transfers for every reason you fly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Quick answers, no fine print.

How does pickup work at an island airport?
You cross from the terminal to the mainland by the underground pedestrian tunnel or the short ferry — both take a couple of minutes. Your chauffeur waits at the mainland terminal entrance at the foot of Bathurst, so you walk straight to the car.
How close is Billy Bishop to downtown?
It's on the islands right off the downtown waterfront. Most financial-district and downtown hotels are about ten to fifteen minutes away by car.
Do you serve Porter and Air Canada flights?
Both. Give us your flight number at booking and dispatch tracks it, whichever carrier you’re on.
How far ahead should I book?
For airport runs we recommend booking at least a few hours ahead so dispatch can assign and stage your chauffeur; for early-morning departures, the night before is ideal. Last-minute is fine when we have a car free — a quick call confirms it.
Can I book a return or round trip?
Yes. Book the outbound and return together and both legs lock at the same flat rate. On the return we track your inbound flight the same way, so a delay just moves the pickup.
How much luggage fits, and do you have child seats?
Every class lists its luggage capacity when you book — a sedan takes 3 large bags, an SUV up to 7, and group transport far more. Child and booster seats are available on request; just add a note when you reserve.
How do I pay, and is anything charged upfront?
You confirm the flat rate before any card is charged — no card on file to book. Payment is handled after the ride by card or invoice; corporate accounts can be set up for monthly billing.
