[Metro-One]

I have actually used YXX several times before, i hope it does grow, and it already services international flights to Mexico. People here who think it should only service domestic flights do have their heads up their bums a little. Of course this airport will never rival YVR, but in a growing region as ours it is good to have a #2 airport that services many domestic and some international (such as to Mexico, the United States, and India, given Abbotsford's large Indian population) flights.

I know when living in Maple Ridge YXX is often a faster and more convenient commute (current trip from Maple Ridge to YVR is Lougheed, Mary Hill Bypass, #1, Columbia through New West, 91, 99, airport (or continue down slow Marine after New West)) Of course that just shows how terrible our road system is as well.

The new Golden Ears Bridge will make YXX even more convenient for Maple Ridge.

When you consider Chilliwack, Mission, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Abbotsford, eastern Surrey and Langely, that is at least 400 000 (maybe 500 000) people that YXX is situated geographically to service better than YVR.
