Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport

[Brokenhead]

^^^ I think that's a good idea.

Now a plane can fly to Winnipeg, and ship cargo around easier to surrounding places. Plus more shipping opportunties for businesses.

[Boreal]

I am very pleased. Make Winnipeg a centre for cargo. Give it a defining feature. The "airport campus" may prove to be one of the city's economic gems in 5-6 years, as it is already showcasing some impressive numbers as plans.

...Now to open up the Port of Churchill, without destroying the ecosystem...

Most flights are to American hubs.. such as:

5 to 6 flights a day to Chicago.
Muliple flights to Minniapolis a day.
Denver
Salt Lake City... ect.

how much would a flight be from denver to winnipeg ebating on how to come back up in a month

[newflyer]

I've always liked the Winport idea. As far as the land goes it only requires a little thing known of expropreation. Once the city has the land in hand and can develop a strong business plan with enough of the transportation industry behind the idea, I would suggest it would a good indication that perhaps the first phase of such a mega hub could be built.

It would also greatly be influenced by the port of Churchill. If that port becomes the major port of the north-west passage, Winnipeg will be in a super position the capitalize on its rail and truck infrastructure.

Check Northwest airlines I believe. Its depends on the day and time. I have flown through Denver a couple times.. its a nice airport. I believe there is a late flight to the Peg.

Chicago offers the most flexability.. due to the number of flights to and from Winnipeg a day. This is a busy route partially due to agriculture and commodity businesses in each city.

I believe the last flight out of Chicago to the Peg is 10 or 11pm.. so you may not have to stay over if you could get there before that time.

Don't forget about the seasonal non-stop flights to Phoenix, and the year long non-stop flights to Las Vegas by Westjet.

Just allow an extra three days if the plane happens to be delayed by weather ... Thanks for the $100 credit WestJet. Wow.

Seriously? That's not a bad compensation and is better than a kick to the junk. Maybe my next westjet flight will be delayed; I could use the extra cash towards a vacation

Based on summer peak frequencies:
4x daily to Chicago (United Airlines)
3x daily to Denver (United Airlines)
6x daily to Minneapolis (Northwest Airlines)
2x daily to Salt Lake City (Delta Airlines)

Also, seasonal frequencies on:
weekly service to London Gatwick (Zoom Airlines)
summer service to Detroit (Northwest Airlines)
6x weekly to Las Vegas (WestJet, Air Canada)
3x weekly to Phoenix (WestJet)
numerous winter season flights to to Cancun, Holguin, Huatulco, Manzanillo, Mazatlan, Montego Bay, Puerto Plata, Puerto Vallarta, Punta Cana, Varadero, Zihuatanejo (AeroMexico, Skyservice, Air Transat, WestJet)


Flying Denver to Winnipeg nonstop should cost somewhere in the $200-300 range, one-way. Flying from most places the Chicago connections are pretty good, although a really late connection would probably mean flying through Minneapolis on Northwest.

Given that rail freight tends to concentrate on slower, bulkier items, and air freight is faster, smaller, higher value items, I don't know how much air-to-rail potential there is for general freight. Usually rail-to-truck or air-to-truck is the way it goes. The idea of moving very large specialized loads on air-rail intermodal (such as wind turbine blades) is kind of fascinating, though, I could see that having a good deal of potential.

Hmmmm I could swear I flew NW from Winnipeg to Denver.. but that was a few years ago, things may have changed. Also seems the Chicago run is smaller than it use to be, but I guess flight capacity plays a large roll. The redeye was from Chicago to Winnipeg was full the few times I took it.

Wow! You're pretty lucky to get a credit at all since, as you say, the plane was delayed due to weather! It is my impression that delays due to weather do not mean compensation, but other kinds of delays, such as mechanical, do.

Air Canada operated the Denver route for a few years, before it was transferred to United. Other than that there was many many years ago a milk run routing to Denver on the original Frontier Airlines (probably before the time when you flew it).

(note - I just flew via Denver, and it was full both ways)

The Chicago route also was switched to a UA flight from an AC one a few years ago (basically went from AC operating and UA codesharing to the opposite). That route has had a number of schedule and equipment changes, and in the early to mid '90's there was a battle between AC, American Airlines, and Northwest over the route. I'd personally like to see a later flight added on ORD-YWG again to make later return routings possible.


Not sure when the second phase of the airport is planned, but I expect that it won't take long before it's needed. The current level of operations will essentially be able to fill the gates at peak times, and a couple of extra gates will probably be needed to accomodate any new routes or carriers that add flights once the new terminal is available.

I flew Winnipeg to Denver round trip in Sept for $500. flights both ways were full.

I'm going to Phoenix via Denver next week for $123 each way? I have seen Wpg-Denver more $$$ than Winnipeg-Phoenix. Guess you should just bring carryon luggage and scoot when you get the chance?

An Air France airplane made an emergency landing at the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport during the noon-hour Wednesday.
