I can't believe they were denied flying jets out of YTZ; really annoyed at that, they should have imposed a decibel limit, not a technology limit. The noise from the Q400's is just awful. Stand anywhere along Queens Quay (or Hanlan's) and they'll take your head right off.
Yup. The C-Series and other jets with current-generation engines are quieter than some turboprops like the Q400.
That said, I've made the same argument to NoJetsTO supporters, and these specific supporters said that their issue was increased traffic, which is an understandable concern for a downtown airport on the Toronto Islands. The higher the range of the planes that they permit, the more planes they'll get.
