Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport to Participate in Doors Open Toronto 2026 on Saturday, May 23

We are looking forward to opening the doors to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport as part of Doors Open Toronto 2026, providing behind the scenes access to showcase YTZ and all the people and partners that make this airport one of the best.

With more spaces open to the public than ever before, visitors can explore groundside facilities, go behind-the-scenes of airport operations, learn from demonstrations and enjoy amazing views of the city skyline and airfield.

The Doors Open theme this year is “the World in a City,” in recognition of the World Cup matches coming to Toronto this summer. As Toronto prepares to welcome visitors from around the world, the event will highlight the people, places, and stories that make the city a true global mosaic. In celebration of this theme, Toronto Port Authority and its partners are thrilled to bring the global game to life and part of the visitor experience at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.
