Construction on Edmonton's South side was something mentioned by other forum'ers, justifying YEG's location. I suggest reading the thread with a little more focus before making unfair judgments.

Came back through this morning. Right royal pissed at the weather. Being unable to find your car in the parking lot because it's covered in snow should ot freaking happen in mid-april.

Construction looks like it's ticking along on the new parkade.

Transit to the airport can't happen fast enough.

On my trip out, the lineups at both Tim Hortons and Second Cups, were freaking unreal. I bought a magazine from a woman who needed an oxygen tank. Breathing is not even a qualification. Basically if you can press a button, you can get a job in this town... and transit might help YEG get some staff.... so I can get a freaking coffee on a morning flight.

Also, the north wing needs a paint job. It's just sooo fucking dreary. Don't fear colour.

But holy fuck is that place bustling....

AC cancelled the original flight number due to the aircraft going mechanical,a second 763 was flown in from YVR and the flight left a couple hours late...

What a day just helped move a bunch of equiptment from YXD to YEG for sunwest who has now offically closed the YXD base and opened the ''new'' YEG base.4 aircraft now living at YEG,the hawker 800xp is awesome inside,it defines luxury corporate jet.Also Shaw communications is moving one of its 2 airplanes to YEG,also a luxury private jet...Looks like some local shaw folks will be using the jet for buisness etc....

CMD UW · #**114** Posted **Apr 12, 2007, 8:31 PM**

Our transborder and int'l increases are unreal. Wow!! Crackin the half million mark in a month. Go YEG go!

Coldrsx · #**115** Posted **Apr 12, 2007, 8:32 PM**

unreal!

Jasper and one o nin · #**116** Posted **Apr 12, 2007, 8:41 PM**

It will be interesting to see april's international increase. considering LHR will have one month of daily service under its belt.

Coldrsx · #**117** Posted **Apr 12, 2007, 8:43 PM**

^thats about 10-12,000 a month for LHR at 180-200 per plane...so another say 5000-7000 a month in INTL.

#**118** Posted **Apr 13, 2007, 12:58 AM**

Capacity wise the US flights must be getting pretty close to capacity? There wasn't much transborder increase between last March and now...WestJet PHX and PSP 2nd daily LAS, and 3x weekly AC to LAS...

C'mon Cold, that's pushing it. How fast would you have to be driving?

tuffyy · #**120** Posted **Apr 13, 2007, 2:42 AM**

My 4 trips per week to the airport from the westend via the AHD take 15minutes with the morning commute (6AM) and about 20-30 minutes on the trip home (5 0r 6pm).Obviously the evening rush slows things down.That is following speed limits aswell.So lessard area to YEG about 15-30 minutes, rarely longer, if it is you are not doing the speed limit....
