The CEO YYC has already visited Asia and talking to Asian airlines to fly directly into YYC and bypass YVR for both passenger and cargo traffic, he's also stated that more Asian flights will come into YYC than YVR once the runway/terminal is open.
Thanks for the info. Hopefully the new side of YYC will have a better MLL ....

Any ETA on completion? Where do you find your updates from?
