Business Soaring At Chris Hadfield Airport

There's been a steady increase in business at the Sarnia Chris Hadfield Airport.

Manager Clare Webb says Air Canada made some changes just over a month ago to its schedule.

"Until the first of May, we generally worked with four flights during the week and two or three flights on the weekend per-day," says Webb.

"Now they've increased it about 20%, we have five flights daily return flights to Toronto out of Sarnia during the week and on the weekends we've gone from three to four flights."

Webb says they've also noticed more American passengers taking advantage of the exchange rate and flying out of Sarnia.

He says Air Canada has also become more aggressive and competitive in its pricing, enticing more people to fly out of Sarnia rather than London.

A one-way flight to Toronto can be found for just over $150, depending on the day of the week.
