I agree and it is great to see, but the credit goes to the long term work done by Edmonton International Airports in promoting and negotiating the new routes while taking advantage of the hot oil economy to grow that sector.
The airline/YXD issue was dead back in 1995 and none of the new 737's could have used it at all.2 New international carriers and expanded united flights all just happened within a year of the city center closure.
My point is credit where credit is due (in this case the work of EIA and the industry) and accuracy.
I think it would be fair to say the YXD issue for most, including me, was dead 24 months ago (some more), its over and its past time to move forward on all sides of the discussion.
There is a lot of work to do in Recreational and Commercial GA to get back to where we need to be.
In my highly biased personal opinion
