Air Canada terminal changes at YYZ Toronto

April 6 is the day Air Canada moves *PART* of their operations to the new
white elephant terminal at Toronto.

The new T1 (Tnew) will serve domestic, jazz and international flights.
The old T2 will continue to serve transborder flights.
The old T1 will be closed and demolished (to allow completion of Tnew)

Now that AC seems to have gotten their gates at Tnew, the battle has moved to
T2 where AC doesn't want to relinquish all its gates (Westjet wants them).

So connections between domestic and international will no longer require the
terminal switch.

Why are they bothering if they are going to shut down a week or so
later? FFM

This has been in the planning for years. IATA calls the new terminal "Tollway
for extravagance" (I call it white elephant).

This was done many many years ago when Toronto thought it could get ALL
traffic from eastern canada and parts of the USA and set out to grow big time.
Then came the CP and canada3000 bankrupcies, and ttal downturn in air travel,
and all of a sudden, GTAA was stuck paying for its extravagance without having
the revenus for it and had to raise fees at the airport to a point where IATA
has repeatedly slapped Toronto on the wrist as one of the most expensive
airports in the world.

Note that Jazz flights that are transborder still uses T2. Domestic Jazz
is in T1-new.
