New airline service launching in Hamilton bypassed Breslau 
Quote:Chris Wood, manager of the Region of Waterloo International Airport in Breslau, said NewLeaf didn't go the traditional route. Usually airports know an airline is shopping and they have the chance to pitch their merits.

He contacted the airline after the announcement. "I wanted to make sure they knew we were here and interested, and they did," he said.

So it seems YKF wasn't seriously considered because Hamilton was chosen for strategic reasons.
And... 
Quote:Replacing Ottawa is still the priority, Wood said, but that doesn't mean other opportunities would be ignored. "We've had that service. The demand is absolutely there. It's been proven, so that is the one we're pushing."
