How does posting once a month, and then answering questions ( including yours) count as inundating? I don’t recall quoting anything other than the official plan, but I do admit that I do get excited when I see progress. It’s a new airport after, and I am a pilot. And flying in Canada is often...

I know I need to be careful here, as ever time I bring up facts I seem to get banned. but here goes, Some facts please let me know which ones you disagree with. Look I don’t have a lot of time, but will try to express what I know , so if rapid fire: I get that maybe you are not a fan of the...

Hamilton and Waterloo are both good examples of utility airports. Both provide local accessible aviation capacity in support of thier city’s economic activity. Waterloo was Canada’s busiest airport in the last quarter of 2020, they hit 13,000 plus movements in November. Oshawa ( a mix of GA...

Maybe because it is literally being built? Shall I start a new forum, maybe call it Canada’s new aerotropolis? The aerotropolis around the airport is being built conforming to the PASZR. Water and sewer is being built, the innovation corridor has its first build. While expected to be completed...

It is a utility/industrial airport, initially it will have nothing to do with passenger travel. That is a misdirection point used by opposing interests. Given that utility aviation is spiking and that oshawa is culling airport businesses, and Buttonvilles hangars are full, it’s a 100% needed...

For those that would like a status update on our favorite airport, now called Canadas first intentionally designed Aerotropolis. https://pickeringairport.org/aerotropolis-toronto/

The ASA report ( done by KPMG ) has a 130 page business case with an 8% IRR. unfortunately Much of it is redacted, apparently so as to not bias an RFP. ( the next step). Even the mayor of Pickering dosnt have a clean copy. But 8% should be more than enough to fund the airport privately, the next...

precisely! Thankyou for your support! Not only will the new airport be built utilizing private funding, it will save the taxpayers millions By: - covering the $70 million in Seaton development levies being used right now by the region to built water and sewage as mentioned previously( see...

Building a utility airport first is what the ASA suggests, and then expand it as needed. That will leverage private investment. That was the original plan I advocated for as a volunteer back in 2011 with the Not for profit Airpark crew. I have mentioned that multiple times in this thread. I...

You can believe what you want to believe, but the reality is that yet another million dollar government report, the ASA report, stated that new aviation capacity will be needed.( page 18) Building pickering airport can only be delayed if billions are spent elsewhere, and that spending is not...

Really straight forward guys and all above board , public knownledge, so please stop the conspiracy thoery nonsense. That BS has no place on this thread. In Canada All political donations are public. Corporations can not donate directly to a candidate, although they can donate to lobby groups...

yes, by an MP that took thousands in donations from housing developers. That was in 2015, she has yet to file her 2019 campaign expenses. Houses or an airport surrounded by a economic zone and a green space buffer. Choose one, Fully serviced land is a hot commodity! Read all about the petition...

Howdy all, busy as a mad hatter flying everyday. But haven’t forgotten about you lost souls. just A reminder, that every day I fly out of Toronto, everywhere I look new development is underway. But I would like to draw your attention to one specific spot 10nm to the East. For some it appears...

Yup Hamilton is an awesome airport and their future business plans are to expand aircargo as much as possible. Notable, along with Waterloo, they have not Taken up the federal ask to expand on the passenger side as outlined as a possibility in the KPMG ASA report. Most folks are not aware than...

So in short no tax dollars for aviation, the heart and soul of the global economy? aviation is the grease on the wheels of the global economy that you have repeatedly questioned. But that’s ok, no one needs government money. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt , After all you are not...

dispite the conspiracy theory’s promoted by several past posters, I do not have “links” to anyone but have been working with the volunteers at the Buttonville flying club to try to publish what we know to keep the players Honest and to get a fair deal Both as aviators and tax payers. As...

And how many of those “ more urgent” infrastructure projects are profitable? Can be built with private capital instead of public tax dollars? How many are in line with the future of long distance transportation technology ( today no other existing system beats flying to most destinations in...

High marks for honesty!

In the previous elections you did not have a leader of a national party supporting the immediate construction of the airport, now you do. Erin O’Toole . But to be fair the liberals have simply been stalling on the airport. They have not derailed its development, simply pushed it down the road.

I Understand that you are uncomfortable about this topic. A number of people seem to be, thus the acts of censorship. However it is one of the most important projects now on offer for the Easter GTA. Airport and Aircraft go hand in hand. One drives the Need for the other, read the link and you...
