second international airport for the toronto area cannot be discounted completely but seems very unlikely at this point a spokesman for the airport planning division of the department of transport uid he was commenting on stories that the wellingtonwaterloo facility might be expanded to accommodate the jumbo jets of international air earners and help relieve the pressure on overcrowded malton alfred hales mp for wellington suggested in the house of commons that the airport could possibly be used as an alternative to malton airport transport minuter paul hellyer has been under pressure from opposition members to announce development of a second international airport in the toronto area instead of trying to expand malton facilities the department of transport spokesman uid yesterday that little can be done in the way of planning until a decision is made as to whether to expand malton or construct a second airport at some other location in die toronto area if a decision is made to budd a new airport the department has an open mind as to where it might be located we have an implementation team on the job taking a look at possible other locations as far as 1 am aware they have not considered the wellingtonwaterloo area and do not have any plans to do so but in tills day and age i wouldnt completely discount this possibility the spokesman uid a major stumbling block to the wellingtonwaterloo site is the distance from the destination of most air travellers coming into the area uiat is downtown toronto the departmental planning does not necessarily agree with the theory that future large airports must be built miles from the large centres of population final certification certificate from the de partment of transport to permit the production of the avian 2180
