I tend to agree, I think Hamilton has the leg up and will eventually be the winner as the go to alternative to Pearson. Building out HWY 6 is a huge win for Hamilton, they are positioning themselves to be a major player in the cargo side of the business, which must be a money maker. The layout of the Hamilton Airport appears to be more welcoming to expansion then the waterloo airport.
Waterloo has little to no HWY connection and I don't think it has much of a cargo business. The one and only thing I think Waterloo might have the upper hand in is potential transit connectivity, if we ever get 2-way all day GO in Breslau or even HFR from Pearson to Kitchener, I could see Waterloo being the preferred alternative. Until that day though I can see carriers continue to choose Hamilton over Waterloo.
