Aren’t the modern jets that would land at Billy Bishop much quieter than the existing prop planes?

This move would be a massive shift in how the Toronto waterfront is managed. It’s understandable why people are worried about local control and how this might impact the community’s voice in future expansions.

A city the size of Toronto usuallly has 2 airports (Chicago, New York being 2 local examples) the island airport has a lot of potential especially as a downtown hub. But I also don’t think we the super jumbo planes flying out of there. I think there’s still a balance to be struck but I prefer flying out of the island then trekking all the way to sauga to fly

I’m supportive of jets at Toronto island provided there are reasonable limits on operational time, slots, jet sizing and noise.

He should build a GO line to Hamilton Airport. You can actually greatly expand that one and turn it into a second major airport in the area.

I couldn’t read the article, but isn’t the airport on federal land?
