True enough, but you have to consider Fredericton has very easy access as well off the Trans Canada highway. Current aviation trends don’t really play into the reason why Moncton should be the go to place for a flight like this. As far as the cultural argument goes. If culture had anything to do with it why wouldn’t WestJet put a flight from Moncton- Paris, as opposed to Halifax - Paris it just started recently? Because there’s more French culture in Halifax and there would be in Fredericton? As it stands right now, Charlottetown can travel to two hours to Halifax, maybe even three or do the same amount of travelling to Fredericton. So that argument is kind of a wash.
