The approach to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport has been voted as one of the 10 most scenic in the world.
PrivateFly, which is a U.S. based booking service for chartered flights, has ranked the airport sixth in their annual list of the 10 most scenic airport approaches.
The top three consisted of Malta Airport, the Nice Côte d’Azur Airport in France and Queenstown Airport in New Zealand.
Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport was the only Canadian airport to make the list.
Last year, the airport also made the list with a ranking of seventh overall.
“We are thrilled to be recognized by travellers from around the globe for the second year in a row as having one of the world’s most picturesque airport approaches, offering passengers spectacular views of Toronto’s skyline and harbour as they fly into our city,” PortsToronto CEO Geoffrey Wilson said in a press release announcing the ranking. “As a key international gateway into Canada’s largest city, Billy Bishop Airport strives to offer passengers an incredible first impression of Toronto and this award, and others like it that we have been honoured to receive in recent months, validate that we are achieving our goal.”
A panel of judges initially selected 130 airports for consideration and then more than 7,500 votes were cast by travellers to narrow the list down to 10.
