Okay well if that's the case that should be okay. I just remember someone saying that Uber got the boot to that area.

^ may have initially been considered temporary but they have made it at least semi-permanent now.
As for the old tower updates that rendering looks pretty sharp. I appreciate that they note that this will "pave the way for future terminal improvements".

Uber pickup is at Arrivals Paid, outside Door 10. It has been this way for a number of months. It was a savage introduction to Edmonton having to walk through a cold parking garage to the other side. Glad Uber worked out a deal with EIA for the new location . . . $3.25 per ride is worth it. As I live on the deep south side, Taxis don't want my fare . . .

I agree with the pick up area east of the parkade. It actually works really well as it is much less busy than the front arrivals area. It would be a great addition if the walkway there was more climate controlled in the winter. We got back last week from a trip and met our ride over there and the walk over was jarring but the heated waiting area was nice.
I wonder if the tower rehabilitation will include a rehab of the arrivals level waiting lounge that was there at one point. Maybe use it as a kind of "transit center" of sorts.

So glad EIA decided to renovate the north tower rather than demolish it. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I just got notified that on my Delta-Westjet flight returning from South America on March 7 that my leg from ATL to YEG has been switched out to ATL-YYC-YEG - with the dreaded 2:52 layover in Calgary. I try not to hate WS this happens so often that WS has become my airline of last resort when flying internationally. I feel bad for EIA officials, as they have worked so hard trying to get more transborder routes only to have the Trump effect hurt them. Luckily, I can still do one stop with a long layover at IAH with United, or fly the next day with Air Canada via YYZ.

Same here....was booking YEG-SXM through ATL and flight is gone.
Will connect through YYZ instead and not give my business to WS through YYC.

Seems like a sudden drop in November on the domestic front after a pretty solid October!!
