I'll wait until the location actually comes out. From everything I've read or heard, nobody knows. Also with Truman being involved I have more faith it'll be on a piece of property they own.

Now we're talking. I would much prefer it there than next to Cowboys.

I don't think this is going on 17th Ave at 1st Street SW. Something else is.

Tourism is about to skyrocket in our beautiful province. We are getting direct flights between Calgary and Abu Dhabi. This is huge for tourism.
Agreed. Even if the percentage of passengers comin from these international locations is small, it's still a boost of outside dollars to the local economy.
Does anyone know offhand how many passengers from the European flights are European tourists? I thought it was around 10% but could be wrong.

It probably varies a lot. The Westjet flights is mostly North Americans going to Europe for vacation, but the Discover flights probably have a decent amount of Germans/Swiss.

Lots of Europeans on AC from London and KLM from Amsterdam as well. Edelweiss from Zürich is almost all the Europeans.
On the three Euro flights I’ve taken with WestJet. It is mostly North Americans, but there were also Europeans. The Paris flights in both directions had a lot of French people. Felt like a quarter of the plane were French people. The Barcelona flight was all North Americans from what I saw. The Rome flight had a some Europeans.m
