Air Canada Café Opens at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport



(02/06/23)
 
An Air Canada
Café, in collaboration with Aspire, has opened at Billy Bishop
Toronto City Airport (YTZ).

Eligible customers departing from
Toronto’s downtown airport now have access to the Aspire | Air
Canada Café which has become the 27th lounge in Air Canada’s
network and the sixth Canadian location for Aspire.

The café-style executive lounge features 133 seats,
quiet workspaces, a private meeting room and premium food and
drinks to enjoy in the lounge or take away.

“We are
thrilled to collaborate with Air Canada on our first joint lounge
concept,” said Charles Roberge, CEO of Swissport Canada. “With
this new addition, we continue to expand our lounge network in
Canada and reinforce our commitment to providing exceptional
services to our customers worldwide. Our newest lounge is
Toronto’s first Aspire Lounge and aims to be the first
LEED-certified lounge in Swissport’s international network of 63
Aspire lounges.”
