Notification of floatplane operations does not imply safety of operation from Toronto Inner Harbour. All floatplane operations (approach, landing, take off and climb-out) are conducted solely at the discretion of the floatplane pilot, and he/she is responsible for ensuring that an approach, landing or take off and climb-out can be completed safely and without interference to marine vessels.

Please note that regularly scheduled floatplane operations are not permitted from the Toronto Inner Harbour. Floatplane charter activities may be allowed if the floatplane operator has given PNR to the Airport Duty Manager.
