Couple of notes before getting too excited: (i) The article says "Embraer confirmed a deal for 30 195-E2’s last month but did not disclose the buyer’s identity". E-195 is the largest version of the E series and requires 1,805 m / 5,922 ft for takeoff with the maximum load. Even for shorter...

Reports Suggest Porter Airlines Is Embraer’s Mystery E2 Customer: https://simpleflying.com/porter-airlines-embraer-mystery-customer/

Perhaps.

Once the new regulations enforced, the length of the current runway will not be sufficient for the Q400s. As extension of the runway is not allowed under the tripartite agreement, I guess only option will be to install an arresting system. Or move Porter to the Pearson...

May be something like this will help?

Corrected for you :)

Weight.

Q400 is 64,500 lbs and C100 is 127,800 lbs, therefore power (fuel) required to lift or stop C100 is significantly higher than Q400. As advertised, C100 is quieter and cleaner than a comparable turbofan (jet) airliner, it is neither quieter nor cleaner than Q400. So lets say, if we swap...

In response to Access-to-Information requests, the Toronto Port Authority has revealed its ad spending of almost $2 million since spring 2013. http://www.nojetsto.ca/press-release-port-authority-spent-money-advertising-jets-study/

It is all about economics. Owing a car would cost me minimum 6k per year (+ headache), combination of TTC, taxi, zipcar and autoshare costs maximum 2-3k.

"intelligent Communities" is an another promising vision from Waterfront Toronto which can add thousands of new highly paid jobs in downtown. http://www.waterfrontoronto.ca/our_waterfront_vision/innovation/_intelligent_communities Västerås, Sweden built an open-access fibre-optic network...

Nice job

Actually they do, and I think they can. http://www.waterfrontoronto.ca/our_waterfront_vision/our_future_is_green/transit_first the five-minute transit commitment Each community will be fully served by transit, and the plan focuses on streetcars with right-of-way and light rail. Virtually...

Waterfront Toronto's vision and revitalization project aims to reduce the traffic load in the area, not to increase it. After spending $1.3b public fund and years of hard work, I don't think Waterfront Toronto is after TPA for funding of road improvements. Waterfront's letter to City of...

What about those:

Would you consider 727 as whisper jet? What about DC-9 or DC-10? They were also marketed as whisper jets. There is no doubt that the aviation technology has changed dramatically in last 20 years, what didn't changed is human perception of noise and false advertising.

I am glad you give the example of London City Airport. If TPA agrees to adopt similar noise monitoring and control systems used by LCA, then it would be an interesting negotiation to amend tripartite agreement and allow CS100. I gave examples many times, here is the full report...

1- CS100 is noisier than Q400. Period. 2- "the number of slots for arriving and departing planes is expected to remain the same" Check study done by TPA: http://www.torontoport.com/TorontoPortAuthority/media/TPASiteAssets/news/Scenario-1-to-15.pdf They can go up to 440 movements per day...

"To fly you to our new destinations, we’re planning to add the brand new, Canadian-made Bombardier CS100 to our fleet." Another misleading PR crap from Porter. This is why now people are discussing "Canadian Innovation" in aviation history. Engines on CS100 are produced in USA -...
