There were pictures of the interior of the tunnel in ads placed by the airport in The Star and the Sun Today.
They already do. The free food is the same but there is now a food to go area selling sandwiches, salads, etc.Ah, question answered. This is from the airport's website. I can't find a better picture.
Now all they need to do is provide more food options after security than shortbread cookies.

It looks like a double leaf bascule (lift) bridge would have been the best solution.
You will still be able to shuttle across on the ferry if you don't want to walk through the tunnel.They should at least put in a shuttle bus service, or at least a trolleyed version if they don't like gas.
But doesn't this airport cater to the white collar folk and the 1% that are too good to wait for and take slow ferries and certainly not walk and carry their own luggage.
There should be some form of ride in it.

I don't think it is very likely in the near future, but in the longer term it really will depend on what sorts of governments are in place at the time the issue resurfaces. Certainly both the feds and local governments are more favourable towards the airport than certain previous governments were.I don't see the island airport ever permitting jets. It's been a pretty firm rule and Porter's doing pretty well with the Q400s. The environmental permitting required for land reclamation, and the number of people that would need to sign of on it, would make a runway extension very difficult.
Porter has talked in the past about opening a second New York route. LGA and Westchester County (HPN) were mentioned specifically. The problem with LGA (and I believe HPN) is that they don't allow international flights that are not pre-cleared through customs, which unfortunately you can't do at YTZ at this time. EDIT: I found an article (here) from December 2010 that mentions LGA and HPN as well a potential second airport in Massachusetts (BED).Newark is a real pain to get to, especially if you're not flying during the day on a weekday....LGA is so much easier, especially from uptown
... Between Buffalo and the Island, Pearson hasn't grown much at all in the last five years. That's not good given the amount spent on the expansion.
