Re: Toronto's waterfront is altogether wonderful. Really. Ho
With the recent improvements made to the waterfront, I actually make an effort to visit it on my trips to TO. It still has a ways to go, but it has come a long way.
Incidentally, I'll be taking my first Porter flight next week. I'll take lots o' photos.

I wish they would add NYC to their list of destinations.

I wouldn't oppose jets entering the island airport. Indeed if it was genuinly a legitimate alternative to Pearson I would give it two thumbs up. Frankly there is no reason why a stream of business jets shouldn't be alowed at the island airport in coming years.

^ No thanks. Next it will be a runway extension and a taxiway to gates at Union Station. Cool from an engineering and transportation perspective but crap for a leisurely waterfront.

I don't know or have heard of anyone who has flown Porter and hasn't liked it - even Al Gore did.

Yes, but so few people actually have flown it. That's why they are burning through money so fast - flying empty planes that they can't give away enough tickets to fill. At some point, sooner rather than later, they will be out of cash and out of business.

Why can't we agree on anything? Without some kind of consensus we are doomed to get something sub-par.
What chance does Porter have if some of the most powerful people in the city don't even want it there?
So instead of having a great downtown airport (with a bridge), we have a great downtown airport that is constantly bashed in the press by all kinds of people.
I wish it was squashed or fully supported. Anything in between just results is something half-assed. Mediocrity.

I agree with the above post about it being fully supported. I think we will have to wait a few years before we see press about how it is actually a good addition to Toronto as well as its waterfront.
I too have flown porter and find it very pleasant and highly convenient. I walked to the airport from my place at Front & Spadina and took their shuttle home.
I flew from Ottawa to Toronto. Took off at 7am, landed at 8am and was at work downtown by 9am. It would have been an impossibility if I had to fly into pearson.
For an independent contractor such as myself everyday of work counts. Thanks Porter!!
On a completely different vein of thought. There is an island in the caribbean called St. Martin N.A. and the island co-exists with its international airport. 747's fly over an inhabited beach which hosts a hotel at one end and a bar and nightclub at the other end. Further surrounding that is a multitude of new condominium and time share residences.
At one time Maho Beach was home only to the airport however it is now in itself a tourist attraction and the airport is the focal point. I believe the harmonious interaction between the water, land, and air of this place is the reason for its success. Surely if a small island in the caribbean can find a way to interact with its airport than Toronto can with the island airport.
Maybe its just a dream but what if the island aiport was celebrated and watching airplanes land was enjoyable as watching the sailboats float by in the summer?
Here's a photo of a 747 landing at Princess Juliana Airport.
Below is a photo from my own personal collection.
