GP has about half the population as Thunder Bay. There is not the 'bush' flying like their is out of YQT. Both Jazz and Westjet serve the airport as well as a number os smaller airlines (Peace Air and Swanberg for example). There is also a large number of smaller twin engine planes using the airport for crew changes on the rigs. YEG and YYC would be the major destinations for passengers.

Not sure of the actual aircraft movement numbers.

Oh yeah, and I agree, please move this thread back into the Alberta section.
