Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF

I guess the question for AA was whether they were improving their market share into and out of Kitchener with the direct flight. My guess is that most people flying AA out of Kitchener would have probably flown them out of YYZ instead if the flight into Kitchener wasn't available.

I suspect this isn't true. I always fly Air Canada (or other Star Alliance airline if really necessary) out of YYZ (assuming cost are relatively close). I think there are lots of people that have AA as their non-first choice airline that were flying them because Waterloo is so convenient.

It probably just a money decision. The exchange rate obviously hurt their bottom line enough to make another alternate route more profitable.
