Toronto City Council approves 12-year lease extension for Billy Bishop Airport, enabling $61-64M runway modifications by 2027.

Toronto City Council has approved a lease extension for Billy Bishop Airport by up to 12 years, facilitating necessary runway modifications to meet federal safety regulations. The project, estimated at $61 to $64 million, aims to create Runway Safety End Areas (RESAs) by the 2027 deadline. The decision, passed 17-8, prioritizes runway safety over a requested long-term lease extension from PortsToronto, which currently operates the airport.
