Toronto City Airport to have vital upgrade

PORTER AIRWAYS will be the main beneficiary of a multi-million dollar tunnel which is set to link Toronto’s controversial but highly successful downtown island airport with the foreshore.  Geoffrey Wilson, CEO of The Toronto Port Authority, the federally run authority which owns and operates the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport has said that the project will go ahead starting in January and will take two years to compete.  Porter introduced services from the airport in October 2006 and has steadily built up their operation with flights to 12 destinations including Boston and New York.  Currently passengers need to use a one-every-15mins ferry to reach the terminal.  The tunnel will eliminate this bottleneck. www.flyporter.com
