North Bay’s Nick Laporte has a new flight plan.

The local athlete was one of thousands stranded yesterday by the WOW Air bankruptcy.

He’s heading overseas for training in his bid to qualify for the 100m event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

He posted on social media this morning that he now has a flight out of Toronto tonight and is looking forward to arriving in Sweden and his first day on the track.
