It shouldnt be that surprising. With no tunnel they can charge premium a on warehousing space. With a tunnel it opens a whole City of Calgary industrial sector for those warehouses. One of the forgotten aspects of the new runway is it also comes with a huge new cargo terminal.

Also the Airport doesnt really care about someones ease of access or what a crash on Deerfoot might do to commute times. Extra time means more revenue from cabs going to the airport. They are a retailer that offers a very unique product within the City. You have to go to them to get this specific product as they have no competitors.
