Maybe the trick would be to build our own Airport as a Hub, like an under used airport like YWG, The Heart of North America, the geographical centre, provide our own 24 hour, 365 day, serviceable HUB, charge our own passenger user fees, to pay for year round 100% on time performance
Excellent suggestion! (Aside from a serious cash injection for the city). It's a pitty though you've picked an airport that doesn't have an ILS for RWY 18. When the weather turns to crap, guess where the wind predominatley comes from................the south. Airport Authorities win again.
