Maps Whitchurch-Stouffville and the Pickering Airport plans
1. Runway Siting
The announcement about the Pickering Airport on June 11, 2013 was consistent with
the recommended runway siting of the Pickering Draft Plan Report of 2004 (i.e., with
run-ways located south-east of the CPR rail line)

2. Noise Contours:
Residents of Whitchurch-Stouffville need to know how significant and close the noise

3. Opening Day Configuration (General Aviation)
An initial general aviation operation has been part of the plan since at least 2004. This was
reconfirmed by MP Paul Calandra (June 12, Stouffville Sun-Tribune).
The plans call for demand driven development (see Pickering Draft Plan Report, sec. 9) with
clear 2032 goals which were confirmed in the 2010 Needs Assessment Study (see below, item
4).
The following is from the 2004 Pickering Airport Draft Plan report.

4. Passenger Allocations
The Greater Toronto Airport Authoritys Needs Assessment Study Pickering Lands: Final
Report (March 2010; released 2011) is specific with respect to passenger allocations by
2032, and its scenarios form the background for the decision announced June 11, 2013.
They are consistent with the 2004 Pickering Draft Plan Report
Depending on the extent of the future growth at the Hamilton and Waterloo airports,
Pickering will likely receive about 11 million passengers a year by 2032, or about 30,000
passengers daily (Scenario P7; compare Toronto Pearson 2010: 36 million passengers;
p. 1.6).

5. Size:
The announced size of the Pickering Airport lands (excluding lands announced for the Rouge
Park and other development) is consistent with a future, Pearson-sized build-out.
Pickering: 4650 acres for airport (excluding lands for Rouge Park and various
development)
Pearson: 4613 acres
Hamilton: 1400 acres
Buttonville: 170 acres
