{{Main|Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport}}
The north-western tip of the Toronto Islands is home to the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, more often known as the Toronto Island Airport. The airport is used for [[civil aviation]], including airlines, [[flight training]], [[MEDEVAC|medevac flights]] and [[private aviation]]. Since 1984, it has been used for regional airlines using approved [[STOL]]-type aircraft. In recent years, the airport has become the centre of controversy between those who wish to close it down, and those who want to expand its usage. A plan to construct a road bridge to the airport became a major issue in the [[2003 Toronto municipal election#Mayoral election|2003 election for mayor]], and was cancelled after [[David Miller (Canadian politician)|David Miller]] was elected. A pedestrian tunnel to the airport was opened in July 2015, but does not connect to the rest of the island park.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.torontoport.com/TorontoPortAuthority/media/TPASiteAssets/news/English-Public-Materials.pdf |title=Innovative New Airport Pedestrian Tunnel a Boost for Passengers and Toronto Economy |publisher=Toronto Port Authority |date=March 9, 2012 |access-date=September 30, 2014 |archive-date=May 23, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120523021803/http://www.torontoport.com/TorontoPortAuthority/media/TPASiteAssets/news/English-Public-Materials.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> A proposal to allow jets at the airport was turned down by the [[Government of Canada]].
