Connect Airlines (Bedford, MA) was originally planning to commence scheduled passenger operations in July 2023 connecting Philadelphia and Chicago (O’Hare) with Toronto’s downtown Billy Bishop Airport (above).

The new airline was going through the FAA certification process.

The company has now requested to delay its start-up to at least October 5, 2023.
