Poster said some people are still required to travel amid the pandemic for their work and may not be comfortable flying commercial. "We have also asked clients to submit a health declaration form regarding recent travel and contact prior to their flights, and have worked with government agencies to submit accredited laboratory results when required for entry," LeRoy said in an email to CTVNews.ca.
"Flying internationally, especially when traveling overseas, will require a larger jet than domestic flights," LeRoy explained. "The flight from Toronto to London would require a heavy jet with costs starting at around $100,000 each direction. Whereas a flight to New York may be one-tenth of the cost.""It could be anywhere from, say, $10,000 for a trip between Toronto and Montreal, to potentially up to $80,000 for a cross country trip if you were on a larger, heavy jet.
