170 St would be a better option.Which is good to see, but as we saw two weeks ago with that QE2 shutdown, Edmonton needs to have James Mowatt extended to Nisku ASAP as well.

Any predictions for next cargo routes?Edmonton International Airport (YEG)
More planes. More cargo. Construction on our new 47,000 m2 cargo apron is complete. That’s the size of five-and-a-half CFL football fields!
The increase in cargo demand at YEG means we needed more space. By circumpolar routes, YEG is North America’s closest major airport to many parts of Asia. For example, the Edmonton to Beijing flight path is the shortest of any major city in North America. We are also strategic location to access Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Our airport has also become a major entry point into North America.
The expanded cargo apron allows us to accommodate six more widebody cargo planes.

I hope people are encouraging YEG to accelerate their cargo plans. The potential impact of the cargo hub would be significant.Done. More flights to Europe, USA and sun destinations, please.
Flew Porter for the first time from Ottawa to Toronto Billy Bishop and had a very pleasant flight.Porter will be flying to YEG In the spring, I have it from someone highly placed at Porter.
Would like to see Porter offer secondary destinations out of YEG. Fares are already quite low on Edmonton - Toronto and Vancouver routes. This could be a challenge for Porter. By contrast, there's room to grow on Edmonton-secondary Ontario, Edmonton-Quebec and Edmonton- Atlantic cities. Not to mention Edmonton-metro USA(Houston/Dallas, New York, Chicago)Porter will be flying to YEG In the spring, I have it from someone highly placed at Porter.
Would love to see a direct YEG - Billy Bishop flight but I don't think the Q400s have that range.Would like to see Porter offer secondary destinations out of YEG.
