The situation is this, Winnipeg is the literal centre of the continent, in the beginning of the last century, this was a massive hub...Chicago of the North, remember everyone??? What happened?
I do a lot of business travel, however, I'd like to go to my desired destinations from here. If WAA researched, they would see that a lot of people would jump at the chance to go from Winnipeg to London or Amsterdam! This is a multi-cultural city and many people a very p***ed off that we need to go to Toronto or Chicago or Minn or worst still, Calgary/Edmonton to get to Europe or Asia (We were supposed to be CENTREPORT, REMEMBER)! Why did the dream die???
We are closer to London/Amsterdam than either Calgary or Edmonton(even going over the North Pole) and the Antonov AN-125 is a common sight on the tarmac, so we know that pilots can fly here.
So why the h3ll do we need to pay such ridiculous prices and frustrating connections to get where we need to go?
The new terminal was a breath of fresh air for this city...however....same old same old. It seems like we have a beautiful new terminal to get us to Thompson and Gillam more easy (no offense to both towns, been to both and are very friendly).
So WAA....start listening to your client base, get some flights into this town that will put us on the map finally!!!
