Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF

[plam]

N.B. charter, not scheduled, flights. The search for a carrier to provide scheduled service to Ottawa and Montreal continues.

That's true but I tested a couple of dates from YKF and a flight was available.  So what's the difference then?

 By the way, I would love to see the airport lengthen the runway to accommodate larger airplanes offering seasonal flights to Europe (London, Frankfurt, Istanbul?) and maybe Asia.

They operate under different aviation rules, but there doesn't seem to be much difference in practice. As far as I can tell, charters are also allowed to cancel at their discretion, while scheduled services aren't (they need a reason).
