Another case study in the two airports in a city operation, Edmonton when it had both the City Centre airport and "Leduc International". Needless to say it set the air services back in YEG quite a ways, and YYC benefited from it enormously.
It was the years of commercial operators (airlines) still be allowed to operate into City Centre (with no aircraft capacity limitations) that hurt growth prospects from the international considerably. With hindsight they probably should have just shuttered City Centre to all commercial airlines the minute the international was up and running.
