Billy Bishop · YTZ

Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport sits on the Toronto Islands just minutes from the Financial District. It is Toronto's preferred urban airport for business executives and transborder travellers who want to bypass the 401 and reach downtown in under ten minutes. Our Billy Bishop service is tailored specifically to how the island-mainland connection works.

Every Billy Bishop transfer we dispatch is priced flat and staged directly from our downtown Toronto core fleet. Pickups in the Financial District (King & Bay), Union Station, and the waterfront are typically under 10–15 minutes each way; Yorkville is 15–25 minutes; Midtown is 20–35 minutes; and Mississauga is 25–40 minutes via the Gardiner Expressway. You see your exact fare before confirming — no meter, no per-minute delays on Lake Shore Boulevard, and no surge pricing during rain, rush hour, or convention weekends.

Because passenger vehicles cannot drive across to the island terminal, all vehicle transfers operate at the Mainland Pavilion (2 Eireann Quay) at the foot of Bathurst Street and Queens Quay West. For arrivals, your chauffeur meets you directly inside the Mainland Pavilion lobby as you exit the pedestrian tunnel or the 90-second electric ferry, assisting with your luggage directly to your waiting vehicle.

For departures, drop-off is curbside at the designated passenger drop-off loop at 2 Eireann Quay, directly at the entrance to the 853-foot pedestrian tunnel (which takes less than 6 minutes on moving sidewalks) and the passenger ferry. Our dispatchers monitor Gardiner Expressway and Queens Quay traffic in real time to select the cleanest approach route.

YTZ FAQ

Common questions about Billy Bishop transfers

Where does the chauffeur meet me at Billy Bishop Airport (YTZ)?

Because vehicles cannot drive onto the Toronto Islands, all chauffeur pickups occur on the mainland at the Billy Bishop Mainland Pavilion (2 Eireann Quay) at the foot of Bathurst Street. After collecting your luggage on the island, take the 6-minute pedestrian tunnel (with moving sidewalks) or the 90-second ferry to the mainland. Your chauffeur will be waiting inside the mainland pavilion arrivals area with a personalized name sign and will assist you to the vehicle.

Can your chauffeurs drive directly onto the island?

No. Billy Bishop Airport strictly restricts vehicle ferry access to authorized airport service and emergency vehicles. Passenger vehicular traffic drops off and picks up exclusively at the Mainland Pavilion on Eireann Quay. The mainland facility is completely climate-controlled and connects directly to the pedestrian tunnel and ferry ramp.

What happens if my inbound Porter or Air Canada flight is delayed?

We track all scheduled commercial flights in real time. Whether your flight is delayed leaving Newark, Montreal, Chicago, or Ottawa, our dispatch team adjusts your chauffeur's staging time automatically at no additional charge. Your booking includes complimentary wait time starting from when your aircraft actually touches down.

How much does a chauffeur to Billy Bishop (YTZ) cost?

All transfers to and from Billy Bishop Airport are flat-rate based on pickup location and vehicle tier (Executive Sedan, Luxury SUV, First Class S-Class). Downtown Toronto pickups are our most competitive rate due to the short distance, and you will see the exact upfront fare before booking with no meters, traffic surcharges, or hidden fees.

Do you offer direct transfers between Billy Bishop (YTZ) and Pearson (YYZ)?

Yes. We frequently transport business executives and connecting passengers between Billy Bishop Airport and Toronto Pearson International (YYZ). Driving time between the two airports is typically 30–50 minutes depending on Gardiner and 427 traffic, and our flat-rate transfer includes flight tracking for your outbound leg.

How early should I schedule my chauffeur pickup for a departure from YTZ?

For domestic Porter and Air Canada flights, we typically recommend arriving at the mainland pavilion 60–75 minutes before departure. For U.S. transborder flights (customs is cleared upon arrival in the U.S. for YTZ departures), arriving 90 minutes prior is recommended. Add 10–15 minutes if you are travelling from downtown or 25–40 minutes from the suburbs.

Which airlines operate out of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport?

Billy Bishop is the primary urban hub for Porter Airlines, serving domestic destinations across Ontario, Quebec, and Eastern Canada, as well as U.S. destinations such as Boston, Chicago Midway, and Newark. Air Canada Express also operates frequent daily round-trips to Montréal-Trudeau (YUL). Private charters and general aviation operate through Stolport FBO.
