London is attracting global businesses more than ever before, which increases the need for easy access and non-stop service to major markets such as Chicago, Toronto, and Ottawa. Many Londoners might not be aware that the London International Airport is one of the top twenty airports in Canada and served 465,704 passengers in 2012. In an ongoing effort to provide additional flight options, the airport has been engaged in significant discussions with Porter Airlines. To gauge market interest and see how travellers flying out of London feel about the possibility of this exciting new partnership, the airport is asking Londoners to take part in a survey http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YR36JVY .
It is important to send a strong message about London's excitement to have Porter as a travel partner and assure Porter that the London market would be supportive and would take full advantage of the service from London.
The airport already averages 40 departures and arrivals daily and has been working closely with United Airlines to offer lower rates for travellers to Chicago. From now until December 15, 2013, itineraries booked with United Airlines departing from London to Chicago purchased three-weeks in advance (21 days) will receive almost $200 in savings, with round-trip flights, starting from only $232. Discounted fares for flights connecting from Chicago are also available.
The London International Airport plays a vital role in London's economic development plans. The city of London, in partnership with the airport, has developed serviced industrial lands to attract light manufacturing, aircraft assembly, maintenance, education and other aviation related businesses. The new air cargo terminal adds another important piece to our aviation cluster ensuring that London is poised for long term growth.
