When work is complete, the airport should be able to meet its 2020 capacity goal of 29 million passengers. Work includes one of the largest GeoExchange heating and cooling systems in Canada, new construction and renovations of domestic and international terminals, and a reconfiguration that will allow passengers to go from check-in to gate through one interconnected facility. Unlike in the U.S., the airport is able to raise its passenger fees if necessary, to pay for construction. Toronto's ‘Billy Bishop City Airport’ (YTZ) has completed a three-year upgrade, part-financed by an Airport Improvement Fee (AIF) of CAD 20, to improve the passenger experience, says the CEO of Nieuport Aviation Infrastructure Partners, the company that runs the facility’s passenger terminal. Following the completion of the project, the AIF was reduced to CAD 15. “With these big projects complete, and with passenger numbers continuing strong, PortsToronto is in a position to reduce the fees charged to the consumer and ensure a travel experience that is not only efficient, convenient and service-oriented, but also cost effective.

  • Jerusalem Institute of Justice: Emergency Response Plan
    Jerusalem Institute of Justice – Travel resources TRANSPORTATION Air Travel The least expensive airfares to Israel are often priced for round-trip travel and must be purchased well in advance. Airlines generally allow you to change your return date for a fee; most low-fare tickets, however, are nonrefundable. Flights to Israel tend to be least expensive from November through March, except for the holiday season at the end of December. Prices are higher during the Jewish High Holiday period (usually in September or October) and Passover (usually in April). Flying time from New York to Israel is approximately 11 hours; from Los Angeles or San Francisco, it's about 14 hours nonstop, or 18 to 19 hours with the usual stopover in Europe or New York. International passengers are asked to arrive at the airport three hours prior to their flight time in order to allow for security checks. From North America, the New York City area international airports have the highest number of nonstop flights, with El Al Airlines, United, and Delta providing nonstop service. Direct flights are also available on El Al from Los Angeles, Boston, and Toronto, and on United from San Francisco. Major European carriers— including Aeroflot, Air France, Alitalia, Austrian Airways, British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Czech Airlines, Iberia, KLM, Lot, Lufthansa, Swissair, Turkish Airways, and Virgin Atlantic—have daily flights from the United States and on to Israel with stopovers in their domestic hub airports. Because Israel is only slightly larger than New Jersey, it's more efficient to drive within the country than fly.
