On Monday, we'll hear more about expansion plans at our very own local aiport at the Toronto Island Aiport. Porter Airlines (read our past posts on the airline) is holding a little ceremony on Monday, according to several media reports.
The Post says that federal ministers like Jim Flaherty and John Baird will be there. Porter currently offers flights to Ottawa, New York, Chicago, Montreal, Quebec City, Thunder Bay and Halifax.
On the list of possible short-haul flights are Washington, Boston and Philadelphia and media are saying that they look to increase their fleet to 18 from 8.
One interesting point mentioned in the Toronto Star is that a possible announcement would be a U.S. customs pre-clearance facility. Those who now fly into Newark have to go through customs in the States but if Porter is to fly to places like Washington's DCA (Regan National) then having preclearance makes more sense.
In any case, we'll be watching out for the announcement
