Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation attending? Puzzling unless in-bound transit is a big focus...
But then if Icelandair...there was this announcement by Porter Airlines in July taping into Icelandair for interline service:
"Icelandair and Porter Airlines have signed an interline agreement that will benefit passengers connecting between North America and more than 20 Icelandair destinations throughout Europe. Effective immediately, passengers can book a single combined e-ticket for Porter Airlines and Icelandair flights, including the convenience of checking baggage through to the final destination. Connections from more than 10 Canadian gateways are now available between airlines in Halifax, Boston, Washington-Dulles and New York-Newark."
But Porter fly in/out of Toronto-City Airport (Billy Bishop) and Icelandair out of Pearson...wonder how they are moving baggage and passengers?
