An example of short sighted planing{Or lack of same} as can be found anywhere! Toronto is the worst served city in North America when it comes to airports, CYTZ is almost totally blocked by Porter, dont even think of CYYZ most of the time, a total joke when it comes to corporate non based aircraft. We fly almost a weekly sked into CYKZ, and each week leave behind about $2,000,000 , a major food company has made it quite clear that if the airport goes, so does their head office, along with at least twelve hundred jobs to the USA. Lets hope the newly elected officials in Toronto can turn this around, the Sifton children are only after the money, it should be expropriated and the airport kept in place,. Its ironic to see London{UK} spend billions to build a downtown airport, and Toronto ready to piss away such a vital part of their infrastructure. As for our company, we will be moving our operations further East {Quebec}if the airport does in fact close, hope Im totally retired by then! Lets hope that Brampton and Burlington have the forsight to make themselves into real airports for Medivac and corporate customers. Does any one really think that Toronto needs another mall or fast food outlet? What a joke Toronto is becoming with its total lack of forsight and real urban planing, seems the city is doomed to go down the same short sighted path that has been troden by many others before. I think the lesson here is dont leave anything to your kids unless its locked up in a water tight trust!
