It looks like something from the Soviet communist era, but I like it. It's very funky.

Very cool, I like it too.

Very eastern Euro true.

eek....euro maybe, but kazakhstan not copenhagen.

Ugly, ugly, Fugly :yuck:

I don't think it's that bad. It has some clean modern lines that work well with the rest of the terminal, and it's a vast improvement over what was originally proposed:

Not a fan of them both. But i do like the inflatable Cowboy on the first one! The new hotel design to me is dated. Imo another missed opportunity.

Thunder Bay Airport at Night

719,500 passengers in 2011. A record.

Thunder Bay passengers / population: 719,500 / 122,907 = 5.85
Toronto Pearson passengers / population: 31,934,395 / 5,555,912 = 5.75

So there!!!! :notacrook:

Don't forget to add another 1.25M for the City Centre airport as those trips used to be from Pearson a few years ago: 5.97.

Cranes signal big growth at Calgary airport

Halifax beats both of those Ontario airports. Halifax would be up past 8 passengers/Haligonian. ;)

Windsor Airport (YQG) is adding a large hangar. The hangar is for a new maintenance, repair and overhaul operation of large jets that will be run by a company from Quebec, Premier Aviation Overhaul Centre Inc.. The company has 2 other locations, 1 in Trois Rivières, Quebec and 1 in Rome, New York.

The hangar will be able to accepts jets as large as Boeing 777, 747 or Airbus A-330 with a clearance of 64 ft.

Why can't you just let me enjoy what little I have? :(

Still, for a city the size of Thunder Bay to have such a busy airport is impressive, notwithstanding our location as the hub of a region that depends on air travel to go anywhere.

Honestly Vid I am impressed by what you have shown of Thunder Bay. I didn't know much about it other than it had a mountain that looked like a giant laying down and sleeping but you've opened my eyes a little :)

Want to hear something funny? My new family doctor is from Thunder Bay and he once told me he takes pictures of Detroit and posts them on his facebook to give the illusion to people back home that he lives in a big city (even though he lives in Windsor).

He said this jokingly ofcourse, but then again I don't know him all that well yet.

That's funny, my family doctor is from Scotland. I don't actually know of any family doctors who were born in this city. Most new ones are from India and Africa.

I never got something about YYZ (i.e. Toronto).

Compared to just about every other Airport I've visited ... in Canada and America, it must have the least amount of retail !

Most other airports have a lot of normal retail chains, YYZ has just about none! Only the indepdent stuff they control (less Tims and a few others).

What's up with that ??

I'm comparing to similarly sized airports in the states, they likely have 10X amount of retail.

love it - sort of got that futuristic/retro jetsons vibe to it :)

Lack of things to do and terrible signage are Pearson's 2 biggest failures. I'm always astonished at the dearth of options when waiting for your plane. Even Reykjavik airport in Iceland has more in it. Pearson is an empty hull and extremely boring.

Agreed, even though Pearson has the most modern open and airy design there is a real lack of things to do while you wait for your plane inside. Even some greenery would be nice, every time I pass through there I feel like I'm in an empty art gallery. The architecture is beautiful though.
