Some pretty spectacular numbers for September out of JAR. Our airport clearly has the capability of sustaining international flights, excluding American destinations.
Let's hope this trend keeps up and we see more non-stop international destinations come our way
Winnipeg Richardson International Airport Flies High with Record September
October 21, 2016
September 2016 was a record month at Winnipeg Richardson International Airport, as passenger volume increased 15.5% compared to September 2015. This represents the second largest year-over-year increase and the highest in more than a decade.
“We are delighted that the market has responded so well by absorbing increased available seats to all destinations,” said Pascal Bélanger, Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Winnipeg Airports Authority. “We will continue to work diligently in positioning our community’s needs with our travel partners to add required capacity.”
Visitors and travellers through the Winnipeg Richardson International Airport took advantage of new pricing and routes to push the increased volumes through our facilities. Routes such as London-Gatwick, Toronto and Las Vegas were a boon for business travellers, family groups and those exploring our captivating country.
With 60 direct destinations for this year and more to come, our community airport is on a journey to new heights.
