The airline that offers the shortest commuter flight in North America is expanding

First Published:

Fly GTA is known for its quick flights between Niagara and Toronto and with ridership up, there’s no signs of slowing down.

Two years ago the airline announced a $99 flight between Niagara and Toronto that take less than 15 minutes. Since last year the flight ridership has more than doubled, carrying around 200 passengers between Niagara and Toronto every two months.

The air service also offers $129 flights between Toronto and Waterloo, and Toronto and Barrie. There are plans to add London and Peterborough to that list.

“We’re currently in a fleet upgrade program, we’re changing up our airplanes for little bit nicer, faster airplanes. So we’re focusing on that, but we expect to add more destinations later on in the summer.”

They’re also constructing a 40 000 square-foot hanger at the Niagara District Airport, with plans for it to open in December.

Further down the road, other destinations like New York, Boston and Montreal are also being considered.
