Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF

I really feel like the region should abandon the commercial growth plans.  It’s a chicken and egg situation where without the investment in things like the runway extensions it’s hard to get commercial flights.  But even with those investments the commercial flights aren’t guaranteed.

It’s been years and decades of trying to attract airlines and it’s been mediocre results at best. 

We could focus on what we’re good at (the flight school, GA, and commercial support businesses).

There is also the Air Canada bus (which they are running from other airports as well). danbrotherston has pointed out that it doesn't need to be from the airport for any particular reason, but it is, and it does seem to get a bunch of people who are connecting to places that YKF never could. I would rarely actually fly from YKF for my travel patterns.
