Nieuport Aviation

Nieuport Aviation is the terminal owner and operator at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, known by its code YTZ, in Toronto, Canada. It manages the passenger terminal and works with the airport's owner, the Toronto Port Authority, and with the airlines that fly there.

The company brings international experience in managing aviation infrastructure. It has invested in a large terminal upgrade as passenger numbers have grown. It added more than 12,000 square feet of newly designed lounges with modern decor, more comfortable seating and better business stations. It has also reconfigured the terminal to prepare for a planned new US preclearance facility. The terminal itself was built in 2010.

Passengers can use several lounges. The Aspire Air Canada Cafe is Toronto's first Aspire Lounge. It has 133 seats, fast Wi-Fi, quiet workspaces and private meeting rooms. It was built to LEED standards and serves locally sourced food and drink. Passengers of any airline can enter through programmes such as Priority Pass, DragonPass and American Express, or by paying on the day. The Desjardins Lounge in the domestic departures area has private office pods, charging stations and natural greenery.

Food and shopping options include Balzac's Coffee Roasters, the Market at 416 restaurant, OBISPO, and Pilot Coffee Roasters in the transborder terminal. Shops sell convenience items, gifts and souvenirs, and there is a walkthrough duty-free store.

Nieuport also runs a free shuttle bus between the airport and downtown Toronto, with a pickup point at Union Station. The airport is about 3 km from downtown. Passengers can also reach it through a pedestrian tunnel or on a three-minute ferry that runs every 20 minutes across the inner harbour. Taxis and ride-hailing apps drop off at the airport, and it can be reached by streetcar.
