Not quite.
Saskatoon serves Northern Sask and Regina serves Southern Sask. Both airports have similar numbers and actually Regina has a higher average income than does Saskatoon. Secondly, if Regina is poised to become a major transportation node in Canada, makes sense to beef up the airport.
It's dissapointing because these were flights Regina had locked up, including to Salt Lake City too, but Customs nixed that idea.
