Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF
In this instance Hamilton seems to have an advantage over Waterloo due to its location between Toronto and Buffalo:
Quote:Dacko said NewLeaf chose Hamilton because it sees a huge pool of potential passenger who either don't fly or drive to Buffalo to get lower fares. “Hamilton is a unique market,” he said. “We think there is a significant demand for this kind of service there.”

Dacko said NewLeaf's research concluded there are as many as 5.2 million such passengers available, 4 million of which “drive right past Hamilton” on their way to lower fares through Buffalo airport.

It looks like NewLeaf didn't do their research properly.  Nobody (that I know) drives to Buffalo to fly to Abbotsford, Kelowna, Regina or any of the other Canadian cities they plan to serve.  Besides, Hamilton is the place airlines go to die.
