*Cough *. Toronto stands alone, unquestionably vulnerable: In Greater Los Angeles area there are five major airports: LAX (Los Angeles International), the main International portal in California with major domestic travel as well. (One of the busiest airports in the world). BUR (Bob Hope...

Toronto is the only city of its size with only one jet airport within its catchment area. In addition, Pearson handles 1in 3 of all Canadian air travelers. multiple reports have point to Pearson out of capacity by 2028. That is the baseline to opening pickering. It will take 10 years to build...

I volunteered my time and expertise to develop the first fully privately funded proposal in 2011, a BA/GA Airpark , with the ability to self fund growth into a regional airport.. unfortunately it did not meet the political threshold requirements for timeline and capacity . The longer we wait...

you need to keep the Hubris in check, to suggest that ALL the experts are wrong and you, someone with no commercial aviation background knows best Is a bit much. if Pearson was blocked today there is not a single airport within 3 hours driving that has the tarmac space, gates or fuel farm to...

There you go again with the misinformation, drop the RFP and let free enterprise roll, $500 million a year in tax revenue, $13 billion to Our GDP and 50,000 jobs. vs 10 cents per kilometer subsidy per VIA rider. ( that’s a massive $400 million a year getting sucked out of the taxpayers pocket)...

This weeks rail blockade and a growing fear of a new pandemic show the need for a robust multi dimensional Canadian passenger transportation system free of chokepoints. https://pickeringairport.org/rail-blockades-reinforce-need-for-pickering-airport/

welcome to the new reality- BTW we crossed this rubicon about a decade ago. Highway fuel consumption for a Vespa scooter is 3.4 l per 100 km https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespa_LX_150 fuel consumption per seat on a short haul route ( it gets better the longer you travel, but who in thier...

nope... Toronto is growing by 100k new people a year, and each Canadian is traveling more by air each Year. This a good thing, as traveling by air produces the same emissions as a Vespa scooter per km. so, given the rail blockade, if you have to travel please do so by air! recent rail blockades...

By we, I hope you mean the industry, because if CORSIA is implemented properly it should be on the shoulders of the private secto and will create business opportunities for private farmers. that said, allowing emissions to soar due to congestion is not acceptable to anyone, building new airport...

Not just the airport, all flights as well.

Picking Airport will be carbon neutral when it opens in 2028-2030. Not just the airport, but the flights as well. This is the goal of CORSIA, carbon neutral transportation on a global scale. ‪Building Pickering Airport is key to meeting Canadian aviations challenges to become carbon neutral...

Hamilton and Pickering are not rivals, they are hours of driving apart. Go Hamilton Go!

How will a new airport boost our economy.? Pickering airport will create jobs, create economic activity and tax revenue far beyond its ,size,. Using industry standards, by 2040 48,000 jobs! $13 billion in economic activity $500+ million in income taxes https://pickeringairport.org/1748-2/

Such obvious deception on your part says it all. I have never said any of the points you just stated. Just the opposite. But I get from this that you are just just trolling, which is sad As by doing so you hurt the very things you propose to support. good day.

why the straw man stuff? I have stated many times that, just like most aviation enthusiast, I support expanding rail in every way possible yet you insist on misinformation and misdirection. Why? Can you not see the vision that is Canada’s future prosperity ? Rail and Air service are an...

Hardly, pickering airport supporters are to a person Hamilton Airport supporters, because they know the importance of the future role each will need to play on their respective sides of The GTA and passenger catchment areas. Go Hamilton Go!

Sure kid, all the experts at ICAO, Transport Canada , GM, FAA, EPA are all wrong and your are right , what ever you need to tell yourself to justify driving your monster V8 and rolling coal . Some day your will open your mind and you will realize the damage you are doing to our environment...

Been there done that , see ICAO emissions calculator that used real world load factors, aircraft and route data. If you recall we discuss this earlier in this forum. An SUV is more than double. road emissions is also 20% of Canadas total emissions, 7x aviation 3%, so everything we can do to...

I t Totally agree with you, we need every last slot at Pearson and Pickering airport operational, plus HFR in the southern Ontario to Montreal corridor just to have a hope to keep in front of the passenger aviation growth curve. a rebuild rail service in Ontario could take up to 6 million...

this is what you call a teachable moment, don’t waste it, and don’t feel bad, a lot has changed in the last 15 years When it comes to jet fuel consumption. yes I do drive a EV since October 2011, one of the very first chevy volts. I have also written extensively On the subject as well...
