Little airport that could? |
I have some sympathy for the people at Community AIR. The group intent on shutting down the Toronto Island Airport and seeing the land turned into a park has fought a valiant battle, using every trick in the book and every possible spin on the facts to try and get the facility closed.
The latest slap in the face to Community AIR is the news Porter Airlines has called up Bombardier and increased its aircraft order. Porter initially bought 10 Q400s with an option for 10 more. Well, they have just ordered planes 11 and 12.
So far six planes are in the air, four more are due by the end of this year, and the latest two by the end of 2009. Porter starts flying to the Big Apple at the end of this month.
