Toronto's island airport voted one of the most scenic landings in the world... again

Toronto’s island airport is one of the most scenic in the world, according to a global poll.

The annual poll by Private Fly has voted Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport as the eighth most scenic airport landings, making the airport a top ten finalist for the fifth consecutive year.

Billy Bishop Airport was the only Canadian airport to be recognized alongside airports located in some of the world’s most scenic destinations, including Donegal Airport in Ireland, Queenstown Airport in New Zealand, and Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport in France.

Travellers from around the world cast votes to determine the top ten Most Scenic Airport Landings, according to the poll.

Being on the Toronto Islands, Billy Bishop passengers get to see a stunning view of Toronto’s skyline and harbour as they arrive and depart from the city.
