You still need to respect your neighbours even if you're 75

Just off the shore of downtown Toronto is the Toronto Islands, upon which there is a small airport called the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Regional jets are banned from the small airport because the Toronto Islands are a forest conservation area and largely car-free. It's a very popular recreational space in Toronto.

 

Lately, the main airline that serves Toronto City Airport, Porter Airlines, and the airport operator (owned by Porter Airlines), want to lift the ban of regional jets on the small airport. Somehow they think that because they (the airport) is 75 year-old, that they don't need to follow the law anymore.

 

Needless to say, I'm on the "say no to jets" camp.
