## Resource

Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport is eyeing a massive $4-5 billion expansion to bring in jets and boost passenger numbers, but experts are sounding alarms over its financial feasibility. With current annual revenue just $58 million and net income under $17 million, skyrocketing user fees would likely make travel unaffordable. Analysts question whether passenger numbers will ever hit the projected 10 million annually, and the terminal’s private ownership raises transparency concerns. Without a clear funding plan, this ambitious project could become a costly gamble for travelers and taxpayers alike. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
