I don't like the 10min detour and I want service every 30min. That's right - I want it all (express service please).

Now on the 747 back out to the airport
Departed Century Park at 1211
- all seats are full
- 12 people are standing (including me)
My wife calls it a remarkably easy way to get to the airport

Imagine the usage it would get when they redirect it to the new Capital Line terminus and park’n’ride.

So you are saying the half hour frequency is a victim of it’s own success?

Which is why the 747 needs to operate at a higher frequency than every 30 minutes.

There were supposed to be 2 more airport bus routes, but they were cancelled due to lack of funds.

July numbers out and growth looks fairly weak. International certainly hampered by the Condor loss.

/\ And the 12-month rolling average as of July is at 8.12M passengers. At the current pace (even considering the drop in transborder), 2025 will finally see the 2018 and 2014 records broken (8.2M).
And if tensions with the USA ease off (which is possible over the next few years) I could see YEG reaching 9M passengers within the next 2-3 years.

I highly doubt tensions will ease if the Americans continue to be ruled by that orange buffoon and his ilk.

I do think we can beat 8 million but I don’t think this year will be a record. I do also think people will start booking transborder travel again but it will be a slow climb back up rather than an immediate shift.

Even if people start booking transborder again, unfortunately I think it’ll be awhile until we get back the frequencies/routes back that were cut.
I think the carriers will be more cautious for now, and just funnel people through YYC for transborder. We have an unpredictable orange baffoon down south who might just wake up one morning and get annoyed with Canada again for whatever reason.

Well, we're growing year-over-year (even after the Orange Buffoon's be) and the 12 month rolling average is already at 8.12M, so we're only about 80k passengers to beat the record. I will be very surprised if this number isn't reached.
