I noticed the livery lines on the engine of the plane in the cash site is slightly different from photos of the plane in normal condition. The blue line actually descends slightly toward the back instead of inclines. The font seems smaller and grayer. It could be it was repainted recently which migh...
Jump to postTo be clear, there is no prototype, and we have no idea what the financial outlays, if any, were required to reserve this not even paper airplane. This project has zero chance of success. This company has no experience in this very technical field and they are contracting with a niche missile compo...
Jump to postCan the A320 Neo do BOG-YUL with decent payload, or is that 788 territory? I would imagine BOS and YYZ must be pushing the limit already. Montreal is roughly 4500km from Bogota. The A320neo has a 6300km range. Seems to be well within its capabilities. You're looking at range from sea level; BOG is ...
Jump to postGoing on to the website of Arajet, Toronto is not listed in the drop down. Probably need to wait for government approval maybe before selling tickets? That link is the only place I’ve seen a start up reference to Toronto. I suspect they’ve basically filed with their government a request to serve to...

He still posts here time from time, usually to clean up unsubstantiated Air Canada misguided rumors that are gaining momentum or get out of hand. He provides a lot of insight into AC. As A.net has evolved, so have his posts. I miss the old days of people trying to hammer him with the idea YUL was w...

Jump to postThanks. Interesting. A bit disappointing but I take it to be a one season alteration until everything gets sorted out. At least I hope that’s what it is. It seems post Covid/Ukraine war impacts are resulting in all sorts of strange substitutions and cut backs.
Jump to postAnother 333 has been pulled out of storage in AMM after a long time. HB-JHC is ready in ZRH and will be deployed in the network as from today onwards. That means only 3 stored 330’s remain in AMM. We might also see more than 1 A343 to move to WK, my feeling is with the anouncement of ZRH-YUL to be ...
Jump to postAh that explains it. I just saw it over Montreal an hour ago. Was wondering why it was landing at YUL.
Jump to postThe XLR does not have enough range to reliably fly routes like YYZ-ACC/LOS or YUL-TLV/GRU. Is there much demand to the Ivory Coast or Dakar from Canada to be worth flying YUL-DKR/ABJ? I think many people are ultimately going to be disappointed with how AC uses the bulk of the XLRs. Look at former 7...
Jump to postI’m hoping eventually they’ll use these planes to expand to West Africa. YUL-DKR/ABJ and YYZ-ACC/LOS. Lots of potential to up frequencies (2 or 3 daily) on major routes like YUL-CDG/LHR/FRA/FCO/BRU where permitted or turn a few frequencies a week into daily like YUL-TLV or GRU and make those that ar...
Jump to postIt’s decent, I like the blue. The flag colours on the tail remind me of military liveries though.. not a biggie. The only real issue for me are the logos on the white engines. They’re inconsistent with the logo embedded in the ITA titles on the fuselage. Either the “A” in ITA should be green to even...

Strange move considering that EasyJet already partners with Westjet as part of their Worldwide Connections. But WestJet doesn't serve YUL so far, and easyjet must be interested to broaden their reach. I don’t quite understand what you are saying here. Westjet has served YUL for years. They haven’t ...
Jump to postI’m hoping for Montreal YUL.. I rather doubt it will happen right away but within five years perhaps.
Jump to postI’d like to see YUL-MAN actually. Good connection possibilities on both ends.

SEA via YVR, YYC, YEG, YYZ & YUL I seriously doubt SEA is going to get all of these, if any at all. I'd be absolutely shocked to see YYZ and YUL get a Seattle nonstop on WestJet. Air Canada already does 2x daily in the summer months on YYZ-SEA, so there's really not much wiggle room in that mar...

Jump to postAC is running out of routes to add. Really-it's incredible how many routes they've added during the last few years. What next? I can only see a smattering of niche adds in North America and Europe, maybe more Asia/Africa next? Out of YUL the only international routes that I recall being proposed th...
Jump to postAir St-Pierre flies flights into YUL which I have always presumed to be the way most people there connected to flights heading to Paris. I wonder how these new CDG nonstops will impact the loads on those segments.
Jump to postIn terms of distance, it’s shorter to fly. From Hong Kong to Miami via YYC, then YUL and the longest is via YVR. http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=Hkg-YVR-Mia%0D%0AHkg-yyc-mia%0D%0AHkg-Yul-mia&MS=wls&DU=mi Time and distance though aren’t the only factors that matter but is interesting if they are...
Jump to postJust wondering how the in service aircraft are performing? I haven't heard much and can't seem to find anything on the net.

Just curious, did Boeing ever consider a 757-300F or 767-400F.
Jump to postIt is great news. Endorsements of this magnitude from a lead customer are priceless. Exciting news! The undisclosed European customer was suppose to be a non existing customer so in theory this shouldn’t be it. Since it’s never been revealed at this point I’d discount any major national carrier unle...
Jump to postThe whole French thing is nonsense too. They branded themselves western, outgrew what the west could provide. And are now chasing the Francophone dollar. Some French on the airplane and taped French announcements aren’t fooling anyone. Well let’s not forget in outgrowing the “Western” focus they ar...
Jump to postWhat I most curious about, is how Westjet will handle the bilingual translation. I understand that "L'Esprit du Canada" will adorn the starboard side of the aircraft. But, will that be the same on every aircraft? In all honesty they could just stick to painting the French line on their 73...
Jump to postLevel is going to fly ORY-YUL this summer so they will directly impact Corsair. I’m curious to see what happens when the dust settles.
