This is the real reason. There is no business case for commercial jets at Billy Bishop because the infrastructure around the airport can’t handle the traffic of people. But the infrastructure *can* handle it if each jet flying from there holds just a handful of people instead of hundreds.
Andrew Lewis FCThe "jets at Toronto Island Airport" zombie idea rises from the dead every decade or so b/c Toronto CEOs, hedgies, other plutocrats, & their political enablers, want to fly THEIR OWN PRIVATE JETS from & to downtown, not b/c there's a business case or any popular demand. @shawnmicallef.bsky.social
