Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) is a regional airport located on the Toronto Islands, just off downtown Toronto. It features two runways: Runway 06/24, measuring 2,460 feet (750 meters), and Runway 08/26, which is 3,988 feet (1,216 meters) in length. The airport sits at an elevation of 252 feet (77 meters) above sea level, with coordinates approximately 43°37′42″N latitude and 79°23′46″W longitude.
While primarily serving regional flights, Billy Bishop Airport has limitations for private jet operations. Under its operating agreement, jet aircraft are generally prohibited, except for medical evacuation flights. This restriction is due to the airport’s short runways and its proximity to downtown Toronto, which pose challenges for jet aircraft requiring longer takeoff and landing distances.
