I wouldn't do it myself. Easier and quicker for me to get to YYZ.

There was a reason that Jazz didn't have a lot of flights off the island. Likely demand is low.
You'd be surprised.

The YOW-YTZ run is filled with public servants, not just business folks. It's the airport that makes most sense to get to if you're going to a downtown meeting.

In fact, I would argue that the government itself should operate its own Transport Canada / DND jets there -- they would save a fortune!
