Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF

[panamaniac]

It seems like there are always airlines saying they're going to start up operations here, but then quickly shut that down when they realize very few people want to fly out of Waterloo Region. WestJet is the only passenger airline that has managed to stick around (edit...FlyGTA and Bearskin may still use the airport? But they only fly tiny charter flights with propeller planes, no jets).

I expect this will be Dash-8 Q400 service given the short distances. The milk run model should give them a better chance of success.

Somebody would have to explain to me how having to pay airport fees at Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal could make for a financially viable route, when Bearskin cancelled it's Kitchener-Ottawa route because the Ottawa airport fees were too high.  I don't get it ...
