Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF

[tomh009]

We also know that Pearson is working at near-capacity for how many passengers it can transport in a day, and that the population of Canada is only growing, and eventually they may not be able to handle the amount of flight traffic in/out of YYZ even with expansions, in which case the smaller airports like Waterloo and Hamilton may need to pick up the slack.

Pearson's master plan goes out to 2037, with plans to support 70M passengers per year; current levels are roughly at the plan levels at around 50M or somewhat less in 2023.

There is a role for smaller airports, including YKF, but it's not because Pearson is running out of capacity.

(From downtown Kitchener, it's 60 minutes to YYZ outside of rush hour, and about 15 minutes to YKF. Savings inside the terminal, for me? Maybe 10-15 minutes.)
