  • Flying Together: the Southern Ontario Airport Network May 2017
    Flying Together: The Southern Ontario Airport Network May 2017 FLYING TOGETHER: THE SOUTHERN ONTARIO AIRPORT NETWORK 1 1 INTRODUCTION Southern Ontario is set to experience significant growth over the next three decades and is one of the fastest growing regions in North America. Not surprisingly, demand for air travel across the region will follow suit, rising to approximately 110 million passengers over the same timeframe. This growth presents significant opportunities for the region, local communities and their airports. As growth comes to Southern Ontario it is critical that we are ready for it. By working together, our region’s airports will be better placed to support local economic development, and in doing so increase the competitiveness of the region, the province and the country. Successful cities and regions around the world have reaped the benefits of a network approach to supporting air service needs, and by better using the available airport infrastructure in Southern Ontario, our region can benefit as well. This approach will ensure that Southern Ontario is well placed to keep the jobs and economic benefits of growth in air service demand in the region. 2 FLYING TOGETHER: THE SOUTHERN ONTARIO AIRPORT NETWORK 2 UNPRECEDENTED AIR TRAVEL DEMAND IS COMING TO SOUTHERN ONTARIO As the most densely populated and economically productive region in Canada, Southern Ontario is an engine of the Canadian economy. The region is Canada’s export powerhouse, accounting for 37 per cent of the Canadian economy overall, 39 per cent of the goods exports and 48 per cent of the services exports. 88 per cent of Southern Ontario’s The region is also home to several Fortune population lives in the metropolitan areas 500 companies, 28 universities and colleges, of the Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, and an innovation corridor that features the second-largest concentration of tech Kingston, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, companies in North America.

  • Response to the KPMG Study: Pickering Lands Aviation Sector Analysis
    Response to the KPMG Study: Pickering Lands Aviation Sector Analysis Land Over Landings April 18, 2020 (rev. April 26, 2020) © Land Over Landings, 2020 1 Contents Overview and General Observations / 3 Extracts and Detailed Comments on the Reports / 5 The Supply and Demand Report / 6 The Contextual Bridge Report / 27 The Airport Type and Role Report / 28 The Revenue Generation and Economic Impact Assessment Report / 47 End Note / 49 2 Overview and General Observations In 2016, Transport Canada tasked KPMG to forecast capacity and demand in the southern Ontario airport system for the 20-year period 2016 to 2036. Following completion of the supply and demand study, KPMG conducted an additional three studies, which took so long to produce that some details of the December 2016 forecast report are now significantly out of date, and the later, newer sections diverge from the first report in tone, intent, and perspective. Because of the disjointed structure (four separate reports purporting to be one) and the extended timeline, a lot of material is repeated – and even contradicted – in subsequent reports. Regardless, the essential conclusion is clear, and is expressed frequently and unequivocally in the Supply and Demand Report (December 2016) – in fact, it is repeated no fewer than eighteen times, not counting five times in the executive summary. No additional airport in southern Ontario will be needed to meet 2036 demand. The report shows that, with modest capacity expansions of some existing airports, southern Ontario airport capacity will not only meet forecasted demand but will exceed it by a huge margin. The report further states that adequate runway and terminal building capacity exists within the system as a whole, with the introduction of high-speed rail services in the region.

  • Medevac – Cargo
    CHARTER – MEDEVAC – CARGO From our base at Oshawa Executive Airport to across North America, Caribbean & Europe. Skycraft welcomes you aboard our historical relaunch in the simulator world. About Skycraft VAC: | CALLSIGN: Skycraft | ICAO: SKG | IATA: SF | Skycraft is a corporate charter and regional airline service based out of Oshawa Executive CYOO that also offers medevac and cargo contracts. With the spike of COVID-19, it has become incredibly harder to travel with the airlines in all the cut in services. We let you charter our aircraft from any airport in Ontario to wherever your personal or business needs require. Skycraft Virtual Air Charter officially started operations on January 7th, 2021. Nearly 27 years after Skycraft Air in real life ceased operations in 1994. www.skycraftva.com History of the real life Skycraft Air Transport: Skycraft Air Transport Inc. was a Canadian airline based at Oshawa Municipal Airport. Skycraft Air Transport was created as a charter airline targeting the express air freight needs of the North American automotive industry. It was based in Oshawa, Ontario, where its biggest customer, General Motors Canada, operated two large car assembly plants. Its principal competitive advantages were its diverse fleet, with different aircraft that could economically carry different sized loads, and its ability to dispatch aircraft to virtually any North American destination within one hour of a customer request. By the late 1980s the airline was operating a flying school and had diversified into the air ambulance, passenger charter and scheduled service markets. Its scheduled services included flights from Oshawa Municipal Airport to Ottawa; Montreal; Windsor, Ontario; and Detroit.
