The Government of Ontario in Canada has announced that it will allow 24-hour service of alcohol at the province’s airports. The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) commended the government on its decision.
The GTAA believes that the move will result in greater choice and flexibility for passengers, who have experienced 24-hour access to alcohol at other airports around the world and now expect it at their local airports.
“With a large international and diverse passenger base, it is more important than ever to provide choice to our consumers in a responsible manner,” said Scott Collier, vice president, customer and terminal services at the GTAA. “The announcement around 24-hour service enables us to elevate our offerings to our valued passengers.”
The GTAA will work closely with the provincial government as this change is implemented at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
