A 17% increase in traffic only due to added low-cost airlines? Surely there must be another factor, 17% is just too much... Faro As part of the change, OS used to serve YYZ with 211 seater 767s.

Jump to postMost of that is narrowbody flying. It isn't long-haul. DL has a very weak widebody fleet compared to AA and UA. They will replace the 757/767 with the A321XLR as it should have the range to operate routes like IND-CDG. There will be even fewer wide-bodies in the fleet in the next few years when the...

Jump to post^^ Thats because BOM is a hub for 9W & 6E. Nope not 6E . In fact tbh 6E's network at BOM is smaller than at BLR and quite similar to CCU.

Jump to postHowever, I agree that when you hit larger cities like BOM/MAA/HYD, then ME3 is a far better option.
