History

The aerodrome was established in 1930 and consists of a seaplane ramp and docks on the Toronto Inner Harbour side of the Toronto Islands.

Facilities

Seaplanes or floatplanes land at the northeast end of the airport between Trans-Capital Air and the East Run-Up Bay. A ramp, approximately 150 ft (46 m), leads up towards the terminal. Trans-Capital Air provides docking and beaching assistance.

Cameron Air Services is the major seaplane operator at the aerodrome providing corporate air charters and tours.

The aerodrome is open from May to November when the harbour is not frozen over.

Control over the airspace and waterway is under the authority of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. No scheduled flights are allowed at the aerodrome.
