If subsidizing flights from Europe to increase economic activity and build a tourism industry is the goal, then a portion of those proceeds should be earmarked directly to expanding and improving air access to other parts of the province - because unfortunately, it’s not the people flying from Labrador to St. Johns who are bringing thousands of dollars/euros with them to stay in fancy hotels and eat at a restaurant three meals a day.

If this is indeed the plan, it needs to be recognized that it’s risky, and may work… Leading to being worse off overall.
