The airport in Edmonton sounds like it's not up to international standards, so it became a regional airport. I don't know how airports are rated. We get 40 some odd commercial flights a day here, but no international service. We have a 10,000 ' runway and can take in the big stuff. We also have other operations that total out to about 200/day including commercial.
Seems to me you have to have revenue to keep an airport open. I don't see how a place like Santa Monica can stay open. The land has to be worth a fortune.
The same may exist in Edmonton.
