Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF

Runway capacity is the primary concern at Pearson.

I'm hopeful that individuals with the decision making power realize that the status quo needs to change, especially if runway capacity is in fact the primary concern. 

A few things stand out when you look at Pearson's activity:

• 11 daily flights to London, ON (YXU)
  
• 4 daily flights to Kingston, ON (YGK)
  
• 5 daily flights to Windsor, ON (YQG)
  
• 2 daily flights to Sarnia, ON (YZR)
  
• 32 daily flights to Ottawa, ON (YOW)
  

Should high frequency rail ever get off the ground, I hope that the airlines, Pearson, and the Feds give a hard look at instituting rail codeshares before deciding to either declare Pearson as being full, or worse, building Pickering. Flights to destinations utilizing Dash8-100/300s aren't necessarily the best use of scarce runway capacity, especially if those flights are operated to destinations accessible by rail.
