I started writing one thing, and then saw more and more possible interpretations as I wrote.
I could see this as Air Canada cheaply discouraging growth of alternate airports (and therefore alternate carriers) by servicing YKF with a bus; harder to grow a small airline operating out of a small airport when people can just get on the Air Canada bus at the exact same location.
On the other hand, maybe this is Air Canada seeing that the smaller airports are becoming more important and finding an economical way to serve them.
It also occurred to me that this isn’t really a great way to get to Pearson; you still have to get to YKF. But it’s easier to get a friend to drive to YKF than to YYZ so maybe the Airporter and its competitors are the ones who should really worry.
Interesting, in any case. It’s too bad the infrastructure doesn’t line up to make a Go station and a stop on a future Ion line convenient to construct at the airport.
