Toronto goes for growth

CITY CENTRE TERMINAL CORP (CCTC), operator of Toronto’s downtown airport terminal facility, has taken the unusual step of inviting airline competitors to mount a presence at what is becoming a very successful enterprise.  CCTC is owned by Porter Aviation Holdings, the parent company of Porter Airlines, the major carrier at the airport.  Under construction is a new terminal which will include ten air bridges, customs and immigration facilities, and a mix of food service, duty-free, and other retail outlets.  A larger ferry is part of the scheme although the possibility of a bridge or even a tunnel to service the airport has not been ruled.  For the future the facility will be known as Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport in memory of the Canadian WWI flying ace. www.torontoport.com/airport.asp
