How would a new airport have any bearing on whether someone decides to start a direct flight from Winnipeg to Europe? I would guess that Winnipeg simply doesn't generate nearly enough full-fare traffic to sustain an expensive transcontinental service.
Flight capacity. The new terminal will be able to process more passengers at peak times. As well the new terminal will be able to dock more airlines during peak time slots. (ie: weekday early morning.. and afternoon peaks)

When the new airport is able to provide more options to airlines during peak times it becomes more attractive to exsisting and new airlines which are considering servring Winnipeg.
