Boston-based charter operator Waltzing Matilda Aviation (WMA) in October 2021 plans to launch a scheduled carrier called Connect Airlines, which will link Toronto’s downtown Billy Bishop airport with business centers in the Northeast and Midwest United States.
Using the Canadian-built Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircraft, Connect Airlines will offer “a premium service for day-tripping business travelers”, said WMA in an 8 April 2021 statement.
