TIMMINS, Ont. — The employees who fuel Porter aircraft at the Toronto Island Airport could be on strike by the end of this week.

However, the company is assuring customers that “service will not be affected.”

“Porter Aviation Holdings Inc. has the internal resources to maintain a safe and efficient operation by using other fully-trained staff and management to fill these roles,” said spokesman Brad Cicero in a statement.
