This posted from Cu171 (aviationman on airliners.net).. on the Montreal board.
"Sata will be operating once a week on Monday's out of YUL. They were hoping for a slot on Thursday's. The only slots available out of YUL this coming summer are Monday's and Tuesday's at 21:45. Sata picked Monday's. This is the info I got about Sata.
EuroAtlantic project to fly to Canada is at a preliminary level. They are interested in the Canadian market. Or Montreal, or Toronto. If the project materialize, EuroAtlantic will have no choice but to fly to YUL due to the YYZ saturation. There are no slots available out of YYZ for the 2003 summer.This info came from EuroAtlantic themself.
A few weeks ago I informed our caterer about EuroAtlantic. They contacted the Portuguese airline and the above is the info they got from EuroAtlantic. Thought it was good to share with you guys. YYZ is getting full, packed....no room available!

Merry X-Mas Slawko!! All the best to you!
You might find this extremely funny, but Montreal only has 1/4 of the no of gates YYZ does.. especially on peak hours, its hard to find a gate at YUL, so temporarily, Im not surprised with SATA not finding a slot on thursday, the busiest international day in Montreal.. But if you have a flight departing mid-day... there are many a gate open for airlines.

Things at Dorval's International sector will only get worse in the coming months, as charters begin the process of moving their flights to Dorval. Sata is lucky, and with TS moving the YMX operations to YUL in a little more than a year at the most, it makes me wonder how much room is available until things get saturated like YYZ.

YYZ is not saturated. With 5 runways operating next summer (vs 4 in summer 2002) & sufficient gates, there are no barriers to any airline operating to YYZ next summer if they are flexible on slot time.
I'm not sure that EuroAtlantic (errrr....who?) should be considered a reliable source on YYZ slot availability.
Panam, TWA, Ansett, Eastern.......AC next? Might be good for Canada.

I think congestion will hit at T3..... You have something like 48 carriers operating with some 20-25 gates... I hope that T-New or whatever it is called, will cater to some of the NON-Air Canada operators who need more space, and flexible slots..

Mark, the GTAA is extremely focused on maximizing passenger count at YYZ. They have been juggling airlines betw the terminals to ensure efficiency. The GTAA will not tolerate losing business. The mid-field terminal can be used for overflow for T3 (as it is for T1 for instance).
Rest assured that EuroAtlantic's YYZ plans (if any) will never be thwarted by slot and/or gate unavailability.

YUL-SFO is suspended 3 weeks, a fraction of YYZ-AMS, YYZ-DUB, YYZ-ZRH etc.
YUL-DEN will be back..
28 million before sept 11, I want to see your 2001 numbers before you start parading. So in essence, 28 mil minus 10%... Like you've said Neil, after 09/11 is a different story!

YYC is close to YUL in terms of passengers handled, despite only 1/6 the catchment population.
YUL has dropped from 1st to 2nd to 3rd place in terms of busiest Canadian airports. Dropping to 4th later this decade is simply a continuation of that long trend.

Neil, everything seems so simple in your mind...... In 5 years, your gonna be the one looking like a fool.... I cant wait.. And im more than confident because people are taking the necessary steps the correct this "simply a continuation of that long trend".. the results have already multiplied themselves..
And this is why YUL has blown right past YYC in the last 5 years... Makes you sad eh? To see that traffic at YMQ has gone from 8.8 mil to 11 mil before 09/11.
ANd how nice that YYc is investing $300 mil in the airport vis a vis the $1.3 billion we are pouring in.. oh yeah the $1.3 billion that is coming out of your pocket and the same $1.3 bil that will make YUL a white elephant. Under your logic in this "Happy English Terminal (HET) " Swiss, Egyptair, and Royal Air Maroc will all move to Toronto....... All Montreal will be left with is flight on :30 to Toronto with B747-400's..... You better stick to finance

Yes, it's easy to boost your traffic numbers when you CLOSE the other city airport.
Egyptair, and Royal Air Maroc will all move to Toronto.......
No, these marginal, low yeilding ethnic routes will stay at YUL. YYZ will focus on building its business traffic with its hourly flights to YOW, YYC, YVR, LGA, ORD, its 9x daily LHR flights, etc. etc.

YYC builds airport expansion according to demand. Montreal tends to build white elephants.

Funny, few days ago you were saying something different.
Remember the following statement?
"While YUL might get YWG nonstop and be able to bypass YYZ, similarly YYZ will get Egyptair, RAM, Swiss, not to mention MORE connecting traffic from YOW & YUL. When all airlines will be in "ONE BIG HAPPY ENGLISH SPEAKING TERMNAL" (YYZ717/Neil)

Most of the recent YUL growth has been the consolidation of traffic from YMX, hence it's not real growth.
Evidently, you don't now much about what's going on at Montreal's airport, for from 1997-2001, there were no transfer of flights to any of Montreal's airports, therefore NO growth was due to the consolidating of traffic from YMX, hence all growth was real growth.
Sorry guys, but I meant YMQ, not YQM, my bad.

27 Noise: Neil you are wrong. From 1997-2001 there was no artificial gorwth at any airport because none of them was closed and there wasn't a transfer. Mark is
28 Marco: Noise, Didn't the transfer of all int'l flights from YMX to YUL take place in September 1997? I distinctly remember flying KLM out of YMX a few days b
29 Noise: Yes, it took place in 1997. OK, I see what your getting at. Yeah, growth at YUL that year was in large part due to the transfer. But from 1998 to now,
