Even their facebook page seems to have comments where people ask if YOW operations will increase because they want to avoid Pearson.

Transiting through YYZ is hell, especially when you get dropped off at the C gates and then they're departing from B gates and you only have 10 minutes to get there and need to run for 15 minutes. It's awful, especially for those with health conditions.

It would definitely be huge for YOW overall if we can get more transit business too. I mean if all of Porter's western connections to the Maritimes have to go through Ottawa, that'll be huge. The new jets are a world of a difference from their Dash 8s. Even the Thunder Bay connection had a decent portion transiting through Ottawa on my two flights back from YVR this year through Porter. Just hope YOW leadership sees the opportunity for Porter to make Ottawa it's major hub and fight like hell to get this going.
