impressive! gap is widening between yxe and yqr |
Regina being closer to the States has a bit of a disadvantage. I know a fair number of people that drive to Minot and fly from there to save a pretty good sum of money. Saskatoon being further away doesn't have to worry about bleeding passengers like that. The population of the catchment areas are pretty similar otherwise.
In any case, both are still growing really well, which is great to see. We still need to catch a couple smaller cities' airports for traffic though, namely St. John's and Kelowna.
