Toronto downtown airport gets a further boost

TORONTO CITY CENTRE AIRPORT, on an island sitting literally yards from the Lake Ontario riverside, is to be further boosted with extra flights to Montreal and Ottawa.  The controversial airport, originally opened in 1939, and after several short-lived attempts at scheduled services, became the home of the then new Porter Airlines in October 2006.  Operating the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 the airline now serves 17 destinations including Newark New York and Chicago’s Midway.  This summer the airline will operate up to 18 daily return flights to Montreal and 14 to Ottawa.  The Porter package includes lounge snacks, beverages, wi-fi and computer workstations, all at no additional cost.  This is replicated on board with complimentary premium snacks, wine and beer. www.flyporter.com
