Mayor Rob Ford backs jets at Toronto’s island airport - chairman - 04-11-2013
Mayor Rob Ford backs Porter Airlines’ desire to introduce jet service to the Toronto Island airport.
Ford said he has no problem with lengthening the runway at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport to handle Bombardier’s CSeries100 jets.
Such a move would require amending the 1983 tripartite agreement between the city, federal government and Toronto Port Authority that prohibits jets and runway expansion.
“I don’t have a problem with it,†Ford told reporters in a city hall scrum.
“The extension of the runway, obviously there’s an agreement through three levels that we have to obviously reopen. Overall I don’t see this being a bad thing, I think it’s a good thing.â€
Ford, who said he spoke with Porter founder Robert Deluce a few days ago, would be concerned if the jets were noisy but he’s been assured that’s not a problem.
