Figured...757 was the min for most airlines SEA-HNL

someone just suggested re-opening the muni as a cheaper alternative to building HSR in the HSR thread...

3....2....1...GO!

how about we open a very functional and efficient international airport which can now compete with any mid-sized in NA.

oh wait, we did

you guys have no idea about how this starbucks announcement will pale in comparison with what Reg and Co are working on right now.

This better be good...

Edmonchuck · #**1348** Posted **Dec 26, 2007, 6:11 PM**

CanadianCentaur · #**1349** Posted **Dec 26, 2007, 6:23 PM**

Okayyyy...sounds like this kind of news will be publicly announced sometimes before May '08? Or even before March?

Jasper and one o nin · #**1350** Posted **Dec 26, 2007, 7:42 PM**

do you know when such an announcement will be made?

tuffyy · #**1351** Posted **Dec 27, 2007, 4:41 AM**

For once as a EAA person I will remain silent...

but its GOOD very GOOD...

Edmonton will be very happy...

Lets just say YYC will be very shocked and the whole ''spoke'' thing will just be a laugh...

Finally we get the cake...

And its not IB...

feepa · #**1354** Posted **Dec 27, 2007, 3:03 PM**

how about a major US airline starting to use as as a transfer point to some place in asia for most North America?

Maybe a charter flight from Asia? That's the only thing I can reasonably see YYC being jealous of and within the realm of possibility, though I would think that Banff is a more attractive destination than Jasper for Asian carriers to pursue. A scheduled flight to Asia seems too far out of the picture to consider.

Amsterdam presently isn't possible, except by charter, but Martinair is consolidating its routes, which leaves Zoom or Air Transat, which I expect would open up other markets out of Edmonton before Amsterdam.

NY would be good, but why would YYC be jealous of that? Same with Frankfurt.

Delhi: extremely improbable.

To be frank, I'll get excited when I hear the announcement. I've seen too many rumours of impending announcements only for time to pass and nothing happening. I'll always cheer for the underdog though.

I will believe it when someone provides solid reliable information. Until then it is only a great conversation item
