Cape Breton MPs are supporting a petition to the House of Commons to restore air travel to Sydney s J.A. Douglas McCurdy Airport.
Earlier this month, Air Canada announced air service would be suspended in Sydney starting Jan. 11. The Air Canada flight from Toronto to Sydney is currently the only flight operating at the airport.
In a year-end interview with CBC Radio s
Information Morning with Steve Sutherland, MP Jaime Battiste said he along with fellow MP Mike Kelloway and the Cape Breton Regional Chamber of Commerce started the petition on Dec. 21.
