I agree.
As a consumer I look for the best value for my money especially on a short-haul flight. I just booked a WS fare of $17 to YUL and $49 on AC for the return. Having competition keeps the airlines in check with fares (for the most part) but most importantly it provides the consumer with choice.
PORTER going ahead with their expansion plans only confirms that they are doing something right and people are using them.
