The Toronto City Centre Airport (TCCA) is located on an island at the foot of Bathurst Street, just a short ferry ride from the heart of downtown Toronto. In fact the ferry ride is so short that the Guinness Book of Records has proclaimed it the world’s shortest regularly scheduled ferry ride. Although several attempts at making this airport a financially viable entity have failed in the past, perhaps now its time has come. Porter Airline has launched service to Montreal and Ottawa with plans on the board for service to New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Sudbury, and Quebec City.

 Most frequent travelers have grown weary of the traffic and the cost of getting to and from Pearson International Airport, not to mention the line-ups at the ticket counters and security once you’ve arrived. The TCCA is designed for easy access and quick check-in and security, cutting hours from your travel time if you were making the same trip through Pearson International. Similar airports throughout Europe and the United States have proven to be great financial successes for their respective cities. Many feel that the TCCA would complement the waterfront revitalization plans, provide an advantage to the financial and corporate communities, and give tourism a boost. And then there are those that don’t. This has become a hotly contested issue with no signs of letting up.
