Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF

Normally, airlines here struggle even in the best of times.

Sunwing and WestJet (obviously for WG pre-pandemic) both do well.  American Airlines was overbooked on almost every flight.

The only airlines that don't succeed are the ones who aren't really serious (Northwest/Delta to Detroit had an agreement with Toyota who subsidized the flight, and additional passengers were just gravy, and FlyGTA didn't even have an aircraft coming here except for PhotoOps and Press Junkets)

I no longer work at YKF, but when I've gone to visit my colleagues there, there is a lot of activity in the hall that wasn't there before.

I mean, flights have come and gone from our airport. Even some of the examples you give of "doing well" have stopped flying, like AA's flight to Chicago. WestJet has also cancelled routes if I recall correctly. As well bearskin's flights to Ottawa were also cancelled. And this is all in the few years I've paid attention.

You can argue about the future prospects of our airport if you want, but it is entirely uncontroversial to say that it has struggled.
