Demand to fly in and out of Waterloo Region is expected to soar in the coming years.
On Thursday, the Region of Waterloo broke ground on an ambitious expansion to twice its current size.
The work includes the construction of an addition to a passenger hold room, along with a bag claim building.
According to staff, this will improve capacity with an expected increase to passengers, with the arrival of Flair Airlines.

I actually flew into YKF in May because it was way cheaper than flying to YHM. The one unfortunate thing with YHM is the lack of competition and I think it might be hurting our pax.
For example,
YHM-YYC is $362, one way through Westjet
YKF-YYC is $95 one way through Westjet
YYZ-YYC is $115 one way through Westjet
I also noticed in June that Westjet had more capacity at YKF than at YHM.
