Carney Suggests Island Airport Jets Not Nixed In Perpetuity: 'Forever Is a Long Time'
Carney says jets are not ruled out forever, while Ontario’s special economic zone plan for the airport remains on hold after federal rejection.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney did not rule out future expansion of Billy Bishop Airport to allow larger jets and framed it as part of a broader federal transportation plan including Pearson Airport expansion and the Alto high-speed rail project.
- Federal approval for the Billy Bishop Airport expansion was denied, leading to opposition from Premier Doug Ford's government, some Progressive Conservative MPPs, and criticism from provincial Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria.
- Mayor Olivia Chow opposes the airport expansion and has urged city council to pressure the provincial government to return expropriated land, but Queen's Park has refused to do so.
