Random question… is Calgary the only major city in the country with our airport within the municipality itself? Obv not counting Ottawa and Halifax whose municipal landmasses are enormous.

Technically, YYZ is in Mississauga which is a separate municipality.
The article said that part of the airfield is in Etobicoke, Toronto.

Which is pet of the City of Toronto.
Etobicoke, In 1998 it amalgamated with the cities of North York, Scarborough, York, and Toronto and the borough of East York to become the City of Toronto

It would be a negligible portion. 98% is in Mississauga.
But yeah thanks guys. I didn’t realize Dorval or Richardson were in their respective municipalities. Quebec City is surprising as well.

Um, we’re talking about YYC… literally that was my question. Where else would this be moved to?

Probably a discussion better suited to the Brookfield Tower thread?Um, we’re talking about YYC… literally that was my question. Where else would this be moved to?

Haha well sorry (not sorry), but this is the airport thread, and we had a very brief conversation about airports. It’s not your personal thread to focus as narrowly as possible onto your chosen specific aspects of the airport.
This is a discussion forum.

YYC's pretty good for the most part. I recently had the non-pleasure of using JFK, and Fort Lauderdale Hollywood airport. Outside of a few Asian airports like Singapore, are there enjoyable airports anywhere?
Ultra-low-cost carrier launching new base in Calgary | Globalnews.ca

Flair Airlines is launching a new base in Calgary, chief executive officer Stephen Jones announced Tuesday.
Three airplanes will be based in Calgary International Airport along with a maintenance facility and hangar, Jones said.
The CEO said the new base will create 150 new jobs, including 40 pilots, 60 flight attendants and 40 maintenance staff.
Flair is already here, but it sounds like they want to boost their YYC presence as more of a base?

They want a hangar with a locking door so their planes don’t get repo’d at night …
Some recent YYC stats. Not much of a surprise that Q1 2023 was much better than Q1 2022, showing a whopping 65% increase.. April 2023 significantly better than than April of 2022, showing a 30% increase. If we can get in the neighborhood of a 30% increase for the whole year, we'll be threatening to break previous records.
