Talk:Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport

message: "Not enough funds" for a railway crossing according to whom? Common sense suggests that Wellington doesn't connect to the airport since it is a local collector that ends before it reaches downtown. The railway crossing item seems highly speculative.
Agreed. This appears to be completely baseless. At the very least some citation should be given in support of this contention. I do not think it is unreasonable to give this a yank. --207.218.136.213 03:15, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Well, looks like this airport has been renamed from "Winnipeg International Airport" to "Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport", it seems reasonable that we should change the name of the article to reflect that.  Does anyone have any objections?  --Fudoreaper 15:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Take a look at CYYZ's page: Toronto Pearson International.  The real name for the Airport is Toronto Lester B. Pearson International.  Yet it has been shortened to the 'common' name. Cmdrnmartin 21:04, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not quite. If you look at Toronto Pearson International Airport#History or the GTAA official site you will see that the offical name is "Toronto Pearson International Airport" and the other official name is Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport. Also according to the article a common name would be "Toronto Pearson Airport", "Pearson Airport" or "Lester B. Pearson International Airport".

replies: text: Since you wouldn't know, this has been an ongoing topic of conversation in our local newspapers shortly after the naming ceremony at the airport. There is no consensus on a "common name." Bzuk 05:30, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

message: #Oppose as per the usual argument. Do people really call it "Winnipeg International Airport", "Winnipeg Aiport", "Winnipeg International" or "the international". No evidence to the common name so use official as given by operating authority. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 00:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Is the part referring the new airport opening up YWG to 747/777 reference for the terminal being able to handle them?  Winnipeg can definately land them and take them off, as we have had 747s and 777s divert to winnipeg.  I am not sure however if gates can handle them or not.

message: Runway 07/25 is still open. The runway won't be closed until the new terminal building is complete. At that point the runway is slated to be converted into a taxiway.
The most recent NOTAM does not mention any runway closures.
Adam 02:53, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason that you won't see a NOTAM is because the runway was closed over a year ago and removed from the Canada Flight Supplement, so no NOTAM required. However, that doesn't mean that aircraft are not using it. Depending on weather/runway conditions we sometimes have STOL aircraft, like Twin Otters, landing on the taxiway as it's 90 degrees to the runway. Also, if you look at a sat image it shows 5 X'x starting from the 25 end, indicating that the runway is closed. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 17:26, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed Canadian North from the Airlines and Destinations section. Celebrity cruises will be offering all-inclusive vacation packages using chartered aircraft departing and arriving at YWG on a charter basis, in this case they have contracted Canadian North to operate the flights. These flights are not regularly scheduled flight operations, and Winnipeg is not listed as a destination in the Canadian North flight schedules. Although Canadian North does offer codeshare service operated by Calm Air and First Air, it does not maintain it's own operations on a regularly scheduled basis at YWG.
For reference, you can see the Canadian North flight schedule here :

message: The article simply says the airport operates as such. There is nothing about relocating from the old airport to the new airport and/or what happened to it, it just magically transitions to the new airport from the old without stating it.
