Well it's a percentage growth so the size of the cities or airports is irrelevant, as the growth is relative.

As far as I know YUL and YVR have been growing at a similar pace for the last 4-5 years. Someone can fact check me there but I'm sure its pretty close.

Could just use it as a domestic base (isn't that what it is now) so you don't really have a need for CBSA. Air Transat and West jet both launch domestic routes out of there, pull some domestic Westjet from T3 and there you go.

It will feel disjointed, especially if you fly West Jet but the airport is filling fast and lacks room.

But with that, it is time for someone to launch more routes out of Waterloo to take some pressure off. Even if it is 2 daily to Ottawa and Montreal, and a daily to Vancouver.

I think you are confusing the concourse A satellite with the infield terminal.

The T3-A satellite was constructed at same time as T3 and served many purposes with Canadian, Air Canada Tango, and now WestJet.

The infield hold terminal is a 10 gate concourse temporarily used to by Air Canada and the T1 airlines while concourse E/F was built and old terminal 1 demolished. The infield terminal is located by the cargo complex. The infield terminal was mothballed after T1 was completed. Most recently used as the arrival processing center for Syrian refugees.

It already seems like some airports did better than others regarding Easter in an earlier month.

There are 4.3 million people in Montreal now? Every month it seems to grow by 100,000...

At this rate it should be passing Toronto within a few years.

That's because the Chinese don't celebrate Easter ! Hehe.....

I recall reading the globe and mail or the financial post or some ROC rag a few weeks ago and they said we're at 3.8 million...so who knows maybe were wrong and they're right? I'm not sure which publication it was to be fair but it was the same one which refered to montreal as some "Quebec city [...]".

If anything, we get screwed by it. If Trudeau wasn't less than 2 hours away for most Ottawans we would probably have 2-3 more international flights than we do currently (adding Paris, Amsterdam, maybe even Beijing).
