Are there known cases when pax have been cleared at an airport which otherwise does not normally provide that service?

Contrary to much misleading information above, Goose Bay, clustered around the airfield, is a significant town. population over 8,000. It has a range of commercial premises (including of course a Tim Hortons - hey, it's Canada), restaurants, hotels, etc. It's even got a proper hospital, and a university campus. It's the largest town in Labrador. Go and have a look down on Google Maps to see the extent of the development. And Goose Bay has seen a good number of 747s over the past 50 years - despite all the hype the A380 is really not that much larger, a charter 747 would have had more seats.
