Canada Toronto Airport

With its ever increasing airport fees, Toronto Airport had the dubious honor of being the 'Most Expensive Airport in the World'. With a higher cost structure at Pearson, airlines and customers were left with no choice but to look for service through nearby U.S. cities such as Buffalo.

However yesterday, The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) announced it will reduce the Airport Improvement Fee (AIF) for passengers connecting through Toronto Pearson International Airport effective Jan. 1, 2011. Additionally, aeronautical fees for passenger aircraft have been held in line with 2010 levels. Terminal charges and landing fees for passenger airlines will be reduced by 8.1% and 4.5%, respectively, effective Jan. 1.

These welcome fee reductions, particularly those for connecting passengers, will further allow Air Canada and all the other airlines using Toronto aiport to offer customers more choice as they build Toronto into a global hub for air traffic.
