I travel fairly frequently to Toronto for business downtown and love Billy Bishop.

I am amazed at how Porter are not holding back when it comes to expansion. Yes it certainly looks like YTZ will be expanding in the next few years and Porter will be the main beneficiary of that expansion. With YOW, YTZ, YYZ, YUH and YHM Porter will now have five main hubs in their network. I would consider YHZ a secondary hub at this point. After watching an interview with the Porter Airlines CEO, Michael Deluce, the other day it doesn’t sound like they’re going to be slowing down anytime soon. I for one wish them well and look forward to all their future plans.
