They could do it without asking and then charge people to walk from the airport to the park to recover the cost.

I wonder how much more expensive it would be to run the tunnel straight across the airport to the park, allowing the general public access to the island park.

Someone living on Ward's Island wouldn't necessarily see how busy the ferry gets and how it bunches up traffic at both ends causing lineups. I don't see why a tunnel should bother him, since he wouldn't be able to see or hear it and it could allow them to reduce the ferry schedule (which you...

If you are planning to fly into or out of the BBTCA in the next few weeks, you might want to try to schedule your outgoing flight to coincide with this: http://www.nationalpost.com/todays-paper/Porter+Glenfiddich+partner+sipping/3253593/story.html In addition, if you are booking before...

When considering their profit levels, you need to remember that they have been in a period of rapid expansion. They have been adding planes very quickly and it takes some time to develop new markets. Most of the seats that they didn't sell last year, for example, were seats that they didn't...

While a new building (equipment maintenance building) could be considering an expansion, none of the other items in that list involve expansion of anything.

Absolutely. When Air Ontario was flying out of the island, there was pretty good service to Ottawa and Montreal. But then they became Jazz and reduced their service to where the first flight to Ottawa in the morning was 8:30am and the last flight back was 4:30pm. Not too useful for same day...

Porter doesn't really create demand*. Outisde of the private pilot community, there isn't really "demand" for the island airport. The demand that Porter meets is for an inexpensive, convenient and fast way of getting to neighbouring (and some not-so-neighouring) cities. For example, if VIA...

Porter has been assigned 44 of the 90 remaining slots at the BBTCA. Air Canada will get 30 and Continental will get 16. That essentially means 15 Air Canada departures (7-8 each to YUL and YOW? Will they try flights to New York?) And 8 for Continental (one destination or two? -- probably EWR...

Are they forbidden from accepting each others tickets? If there are more than 2 companies, could 2 or more work together to create a competitive advantage? Are multiple companies allowed to operate transit on the same routes? I have always thought that short distance trips were too...

Porter Airlines expands multi-flight Porter Pass program TORONTO, May 12 /PRNewswire/ - Porter Airlines is offering an expanded selection of prepaid multi-flight options with its Porter Pass program. Passes cover every Porter route or region, offering greater flexibility and price...

It's those people's own fault for moving to somewhere where they might one day build a subway.

Between (among?) the outdoor subway station below the building, the subway yard behind it, the endless stream of buses that go through the main floor of it, and Yonge Street in front of it, I would be very hesitant to move in there unless it was really cheap. EDIT: On the other hand, you would...

Too bad the Victoria Stolport never worked out. According to this: http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/324570/ City Centre Airways actually got a license to fly the Toronto Island - Rockcliffe - Victoria Stolport triangle but nothing ever came of it...

I wonder if that is true for Porter passengers. I have always booked my flights through the Porter website (or the WJ or Air Canada websites). There are so few options for domestic travel that I've never seen the need to bother with an aggregator website. If you book through expedia, do you...

Does Air Canada have lounges in both the US and domestic areas in Halifax and Montreal (and/or Ottawa)? I would expect that Porter lounges on the US side would wait until there are flights to multiple US destinations, or significant traffic to one. I wonder if there are lounges in those...

Right now, all passengers are combined into one lounge. There are three doors leading out of the lounge (A, B and C) that lead to the 10 gates and there are computer setups at each gate where you line up to check IDs. They are still working on a separate US lounge which is supposed to be...

Does anyone know if there is convenient space available in Halifax or Montreal? That might make a big difference. Halifax and Montreal will both start seeing connecting passengers once YUL-YHZ starts up (Halifax more than Montreal). If this is a sign of increased YUL and YHZ service...
