If the airfares aren't affordable, they're not going to be here. Those decisions are being made. Again, our closest airport is two and a half hours down the road.
In terms of access to industrial opportunity in northwestern British Columbia, one airport is the same as the other. We've spent a lot of time making this a very livable community. However, at the end of the day, if the costs are different enough, people will make those decisions, even tourism businesses that have made a decision to fly into a different airport because the prices are better for their customers.
Industrial companies make that decision as well. There is a cascade effect. If a large business chooses to move down the road, the services that go with that business also move down the road. I am told this is directly related to the services at our airport—frequency and fare.
The health of the community relies in significant part on the type of access we have to air seats and air prices. They have to be reasonable, or this community feels it across the board.
