Growth Plans: City Council

City Council: By voting to proceed with the preparation of a staff report on Porters proposed growth plans, City Council can ensure that a full, open and transparent dialogue is conducted for the benefit of all over the coming weeks, according to The Star. We like this airplane so much that we signed a conditional purchase agreement for 30 of them at a cost of $2.1 billion; a significant investment in the Canadian aerospace industry. Our growth plans also include the purchase of six more Bombardier Q400s, which we selected originally because its quiet sound profile is ideal for operation at this airport. The Q400 is assembled in Toronto and Toronto City Council will vote at its May 7 meeting if it should proceed with a city staff report on Porter Airlines request for two amendments to the Tripartite Agreement, which governs the operation of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Porter has offered to underwrite reasonable costs of such a report to assist in it returning to council on a timely basis. Porter has outlined its plans to spread our wings to destinations such as Calgary, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami, Orlando, the Caribbean, and some other locations across North America. To make those plans a reality, we looked globally for the appropriate aircraft to operate from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport and chose a special whisper jet that has been developed and is being built in Canada.
