Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport

Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (also known as Winnipeg International Airport or simply Winnipeg Airport) is an international airport located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is the seventh busiest airport in Canada by passenger traffic, serving 3.7 million passengers in 2014,〔 and the 11th busiest airport by aircraft movements.〔 It is a hub for passenger airlines Calm Air and Perimeter Airlines, and cargo airline Cargojet. It is also a focus city for WestJet. The airport is co-located with Canadian Forces Base Winnipeg.
An important transportation hub for the province of Manitoba, Winnipeg International Airport is the only commercial international airport within the province as the other airports of entry serve domestic flights and general aviation only.〔 The airport is operated by the Winnipeg Airport Authority as part of Transport Canada's National Airports System〔("National Airports Policy." ) ''Transport Canada.'' Retrieved: April 1, 2012.〕 and is one of eight Canadian airports that has US Border Pre-clearance facilities.
Winnipeg's relatively isolated geographical location in relation to other major population centres〔()〕 makes Winnipeg International Airport the primary airport for a very large area. As such, it is used as a gateway to the entire Province of Manitoba and large parts of neighbouring Provinces and Territories.〔Schlesinger, Joel. ("Port on the Prairies: Supply-chain economics key to becoming international trade hub." ) ''Winnipeg Free Press'', May 17, 2009. Retrieved December 30, 2011.〕 Daily non-stop flights are operated from Winnipeg International Airport to destinations across Canada, the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean, along with summer seasonal flights to the United Kingdom. In addition, regularly scheduled flights to numerous small remote communities in the northern regions of Canada, specifically Northern Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario, and Nunavut, are also served from the airport.〔("Airlines>" ) ''Winnipeg Airports Authorities.'' Retrieved April 1, 2012.〕
==History==

The airport opened in 1928 as Stevenson Aerodrome in honour of the noted Manitoba aviator and pioneer bush pilot, Captain Fred J. Stevenson. Stevenson Aerodrome, also known as Stevenson Field, was Canada's first international airport. In 1958, at the request of the Canadian Department of Transport, Stevenson Field was officially renamed Winnipeg International Airport.
The original main terminal building was built in 1964, and was designed by the architectural firm of Green Blankstein Russell and Associates (subsequently GBR Associates and Stantec Limited). It was expanded and renovated in 1984 by the architectural firm of IKOY, and a hotel was built across from the terminal in 1998. The original main terminal building was closed on Sunday October 30, 2011 and has since been demolished.
On December 10, 2006, the Minister of Transport, Lawrence Cannon, announced Winnipeg International Airport was to be renamed Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport in honour of the influential businessman and pioneer of Canadian commercial aviation from Winnipeg.〔("Canada's New Government Renames Winnipeg International Airport in Honour of James Armstrong Richardson." ) ''Winnipeg Airport Authorities,'' Press release.
