From the article.....
"All 25 of Canada’s airports were ranked from best to worst based on convenience and the availability of amenities — none managing to score above 75 per cent.
Each airport received a score from 0 to 100 based on six factors: direct flight destinations, lounges, dining facilities, operating airlines, on-site car rental and hotels within a three-kilometre radius. How many yearly passengers go through each airport was also factored in."
Interestingly, Saskatoon came 1st follow by Quebec City and St John's.
