Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF
(11-14-2017, 09:31 AM)Viewfromthe42 Wrote: That's a curious flight to sell out: it's not even a flight. All other YKF->YTZ morning flights are at 7:45am, but they sold out a 9:30am flight? That sounds more like they were contacted about using it as a charter.

I suspect it's a charter.  Hopefully, FlyGTA will have enough passengers from Waterloo Region to add more flights and possibly use a slightly larger plane, similar to what Bearskin uses.

If FlyGTA is successful it will be a selling feature to other airlines who may want to use YKF.  I imagine some airline execs look at a map and conclude that Toronto is so close to Kitchener that Pearson and Billy Bishop are our local airports.  But, clearly, if people are flying to Toronto they are not our local airport.  This may not be the strongest argument to get airlines to offer service from YKF but every bit helps.
