Porter Airlines, a regional airline based in Toronto, Canada, has
contracted with Tetra Tech AMT to conduct a Required Navigation
Performance (RNP) solutions feasibility study for Billy Bishop Toronto
City Airport and to provide consultancy expertise in developing a noise
footprint analysis.
Porter Airlines currently operates a fleet of Q400s into and out of the
airport, which is its principal hub. The airline wants to investigate
improvements to procedural efficiencies, with the primary focus of RNP
procedure design to gain both safety and environmental operational
benefits. The RNP project will be instrumental in creating a more
effective operational network for Porter Airlines. The study will also
advance the development of more efficient procedures to reduce emissions
and aircraft noise, while improving weather-related delays, an
enhancement that is critical to the growth of the community.
