"Operating an airport that is part of a thriving, mixed-use urban waterfront requires the right balance to ensure that operations keep pace with the surrounding community."
PortsToronto and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport executive vice-president Gene Cabral said: “Operating an airport that is part of a thriving, mixed-use urban waterfront requires the right balance to ensure that operations keep pace with the surrounding community and that measures are in place to mitigate the impacts associated with running a successful airport.
“In 2016, we once again worked together with the community to identify solutions that assist with our noise reduction efforts and successfully implemented new noise mitigation infrastructure at Billy Bishop Airport such as upgrading the airport’s noise monitoring terminals (NMTs) while resurfacing the runway.
“In 2017, these efforts will reach a new level as we open and begin utilising our new ground run-up enclosure, which will only be the second of its kind in Canada.”
Last year, the PortsToronto implemented several measures at Billy Bishop airport to further reduce the noise impact at the airport.
Billy Bishop airport handled 2.7 million passengers last year, which registers a 9% growth in passenger traffic over 2015.
