The COVID-19 pandemic has left the once thriving cab company struggling, along with other businesses in and around the Edmonton International Airport. "It's like somebody just turned off the switch," said Rob Sterr, Airport Taxi Services general manager. Airport Taxi Service driver Nadeem Bhatti waits for a customer at the empty arrivals area at the Edmonton International Airport. And the Renaissance Edmonton Airport Hotel, the only hotel connected to the airport, is in survival mode. Renaissance Edmonton Airport Hotel general manager David Keam says the hotel has lost 80 per cent of its revenue since the COVID-19 pandemic started last spring.
