I'm not being ignorant, I'm just curious what the actual numbers say. How do Winnipeg's passenger volumes to Europe (and destinations transiting through Europe) compare to other Canadian cities of similar size? Is the lack of any direct flights truly based on the numbers, or is there some other reason at play?
And as for Iceland, this is really nice and a step in the right direction, but I had assumed that most of the traffic on this route would have Iceland itself as the end destination. Is Reykjavik truly a hub city that serves most major centres in Europe, comparable to London, Paris, Frankfurt or Amsterdam?
