Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF
I think the hypothetical situation that the airport is planning for with a rail connection is in the larger context of the GTA airport system. In this hypothetical situation, Pearson is constrained in passenger growth, and so growth needs to be accommodated in neighbouring airports and a new Pickering airport. In this scenario, the Waterloo airport could experience significantly greater growth as it receives passengers from the western parts of the GTA.

The reality is that this scenario has been anticipated for decades now, and yet Pearson still manages to accommodate passenger growth. That said, it doesn't necessarily mean that we shouldn't plan with this scenario in the back of our minds, but I don't think it's something we should spend a lot of resources to make room for a hypothetical rail connector.
