When that happens, it's anticipated the overflow will go to regional airports like those in Waterloo Region and Hamilton.
What is the source of that prediction, and even if such a ceiling was hit, what would keep us from expanding Pearson instead?
That's in the GTAA study documents. And, as others have said, the ultimate limiting factor will be runway capacity. Those are not easy to add -- see London Heathrow for a prime example!
