Calgary International Airport

I use this flight. 😞 WestJet came in with 3 flights a week and pushed Central Mountain Air out and doubled the price. ( they had up to 12 flights per week) hope they (CMA) come back to fill the gap.

I wouldn't be surprised if CMA came back. Flights are dynamic and change to suit the economics.

That's unfortunate, I was raised there and have very little desire to return, but I'm sure something will fill the void.
 
Hasn't Kalispell been tried in the past? Perhaps not with a connector for AC or WestJet but with other independent operators. I seem to recall someone using Jetstream 31's on it in the early 2000's.

Rings a bell. I just can't remember who it was that flew there, but maybe now WS could use Qs to connect for Europeans going to Whitefish to ski. I don't know how much of a market there is for that, but who knows. Maybe Bozeman could be a destination as well, as it does a fair bit of traffic. Even direct flights from NYC.

Lots of frequencies and additions coming in 2024, depending on how weathers finalized summer 24 schedule looks we could be poking close to 20 million next year!

So we're almost certain to surpass the 2019 record. 20 million will be a nice milestone to hit in the next year or two.

We'll easily break the 2019 record. I would say we've probably already broken it as we speak. I heard something on the radio saying the airport is handling about 55,000 passengers a day through the holidays.
