It still seems rather odd to me that I have only ever seen Westjet take this deviation in routing. I have never seen another airline on this route avoid US airspace. Not saying it hasn’t happened, I’ve just never seen it. It’s always been a Westjet flight.
Jump to postI’m kind of surprised that Westjet even has that many pilots who are 65+ but obviously they exist. I’ve seen this kind of deviation in routing quite often.
Jump to postA normal flight from YYZ to YHZ would cross over upstate New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and then across the Bay of Fundy into Nova Scotia. But over the last several months I have noticed a number of Westjet flights on this route take a flight path that never crosses into United States airsp...
Jump to postAC has made no formal announcement however they are now selling a new YHZ-EWR route that will be operated by a Jazz Q400 four times a week starting Dec 16th. The route moves to daily starting mid to late January. Oddly enough it is only showing in the schedule until April 30th which seems a bit stra...
Jump to postThis company is beyond ridiculous. I cannot even imagine who they will attract as a customer at this stage. Perhaps a few people who have never flown before in their lives and to whom the plethora of things that could go wrong would never occur to. One airplane, can’t seem to settle on where they wa...
Jump to postThe evolution of Canada Jetlines has been the most exhausting story of an airline in the making that the Canadian airline industry has ever seen. They’ve spent the majority of the last decade claiming a launch is just around the corner. Even going so far as to announce bases across the country at on...
Jump to postPrior to the pandemic UA was operating 2 to 3X per day year round from EWR to YHZ on Embraer 145’s. In the summer of 2019 they had even upgraded some of these flights to 319/320’s. Also in summer they used to fly from ORD to YHZ on an E70. I wonder if they have any intention of returning to Halifax....
Jump to postIf I’m not mistaken, I believe Canada 3000 offered flights from Canada to the Canary Islands for a short time before they went under. I want to even say they had a flight from YHZ. I remember they had a YHZ-AGP flight but I do seem to recall seeing ads in the paper for Tenerife as well. Would be an ...
Jump to postCondor has announced that they will return to Canada in September with the resumption of service to both YYZ and YHZ. It appears they will only be around for 2 months before ending the season but it’s great to see them coming back. Hoping that we will soon see AC resume service to LHR from YHZ as we...
Jump to postWill be very interesting to see how well they do on these routes. Especially YHZ-YYG/YFC/YSJ/YQY where the bulk of the passengers using these flights when operated by Air Canada Express were connecting onwards in YHZ. If an interline agreement was developed with AC I’m sure these routes would do qui...
Jump to postIn Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, this is not uncommon at all. Westjet has already been using 737NG aircraft on transatlantic routes out of YHZ for years. A mixture of 737-700’s and 800’s have been used on YHZ-GLA, DUB & LGW. They were also for a few years operating YYT-DUB and YYT-LGW on the 737...
Jump to postI am no fan of corporate welfare but the Commercial Aviation sector has been hit far harder than any other sector of the economy -- the Government of Canada reaps what it sews. It has spread billions of dollars around the economy but has chosen to not do any sector-specific package for the airline ...
Jump to postYHZ can't even sustain yearround scheduled svc to the likes of LAX/SFO, barely YVR..... and they're going for TPAC?? I don’t think LAX/SFO are markets that any carrier would be interested in offering from YHZ. Scheduled service to Asia, even seasonally, is a long shot. The charters have been done i...
Jump to postdr1980 wrote:Absolutely, YHZ is very fortunate to have the European connections we have (apparently Manchester is on the way too as per another post on this forum)...that should be the focus. Asia is not going to happen.
YUL used to get China and Japan charters for the fall leaves before their scheduled service. YHZ has actually seen this sort of charter in the past. A couple of years ago Japan Airlines did a couple charter flights to YHZ for tourists wishing to visit during peak fall foliage using a 777-200 nonsto...
Jump to postI'm guessing from the picture... they are re-opening the observation lounge And that qualifies as a new flight? ;) If you read the Facebook post nowhere does it mention a new flight... rather the airport has news.

Jump to postThis airline has become exhausting to hear about.

Jump to postI’ve just booked a flight on the Swiss CS3/A220-300 and am curious about the business cabin. According to the airline website and seat guru, the aircraft has 6 rows of business class, 30 seats, the C and E seats being blocked for extra space. When I booked however, the seatmap consisted of only the ...
Jump to postDelta flew ATL-YHZ on Saturday only for 1-2 summers three or four years ago if I remember correctly. Delta is quite weak in YHZ at the moment. I was lucky enough to catch that YHZ-ATL service once while it was in existence. It was great. At that time DL was also doing DTW and LGA from YHZ. Now they...

Jump to postInteresting schedule update for AC in YHZ. With the loss of the 767 on flights to LHR and YHZ there would have been a significant void left in available cargo space. Which is mostly comprised of lobster. Looks like AC will for the time being send this cargo via YUL with one round trip per day YUL-YH...
Jump to postThe terminal at YHZ has been under construction for years. Once one project finishes, another begins. It is beyond overcrowded on the departures level and the HIAA continues to pursue retail opportunities that further reduce passenger seating and the size of the gate areas. This time of year especia...
Jump to postAC has officially MAXed AC860/AC861 YHZ-LHR-YHZ as of April 4th, 2018. No more scheduled AC widebody service in Halifax to LHR or YYZ.
Jump to postThe Air Canada Enroute magazine has shown YHZ-FRA on the route map for a few months now. Would absolutely love to see that announced on the 737 Max 8. With Condor already operating YHZ-FRA and YHZ-MUC seasonally on 767-300’s, surely AC could make this work! Would be nice to see AC add a new internat...

Jump to postI would say it absolutely has to do with the relative lack of larger cities in Canada compared to the US.
