Following up on this again. I think its fair to assume give that the statement was made July 6th that potentially 0 new business destinations are happening nor imminent, unless @occidentalcapital has some updated relevant information.
Even if Calgary had Toronto's Pearson international airport, service for Edmonton's airport would still be the same. Granted there might be more tourists but that would mostly tourist destinations like Canmore, Calgary itself would benefit the most by far. On the flip side, if Calgary's airport was like Edmonton's airport, Edmonton's airport would improve with more direct flights.
The only ones I recall were the Lego shows that used to come (annually, I think) to the fifth floor of Woodward's at Edmonton Centre when I was a child.
If you meant the actual plane, yes, it was here many years ago. I remember watching it take off from my backyard on the south side of Edmonton and being amazed how far back the sound was from the actual plane.
I used it to fly to YYZ. I liked the 2x2 seating configuration on their planes, definitely makes it feels less cramped. Plus the complimentary wine is a nice bonus.
Westjet offers it twice weekly and likely do quite well with it. Similar to Maui they can target those who value the nonstop option. This is why they offer it.
