Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF

[SammyOES]

Except not really. Why would anyone want to either operate in the Region of Waterloo or even fly in/out of it? You can't even take a city bus to the airport or get into the region easily if you live elsewhere, yet they want to be an important Canadian airport!

I’d love to see demographics but I don’t think this is the issue at all. The general region is growing fast enough that we can support a lot of these flights without drawing people from much further away. And it’s easy to drive to and park at as long as you’re not coming from Toronto.

And I think the reality is that the large majority of people living in this area and in the market for a flight have a car and would prefer to drive to the airport.

Or another way of looking at it, we need a much better base transit system before we have a large enough market of people where the transit to the airport is a determining factor in their purchasing decision.
