Open Letter to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport Passengers Regarding 2018 Air Help Survey

Jul 22, 2019
In May of this year, Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport found itself on AirHelp’s list of lowest ranking airports. As a passenger-driven award-winning airport with a very high customer satisfaction rate (97% of YTZ users have a positive opinion of the airport according to a 2018 Environics poll), we were surprised to learn about this rating and so we did some digging of our own to find answers that we could share with you, our valued passengers.
