Is Toronto Being Unfare to Airline Passengers?

FlyerTalk member tcook052 posted in the Air Canada Aeroplan forum that Toronto Pearson airport raising passenger fee by $5, effectively increasing from CAD$20.00 to CAD$25.00, as a reaction to the reduction of the number of travelers using Lester B Pearson International Airport. This fee increase, effective 1 June 2009, will almost certainly increase airfares to and from Toronto accordingly.

The fee for connecting passengers will reportedly be CAD$8.00.

Of course, gauging from the reactions already posted, FlyerTalk members are not happy…
