Re: Air Canada News And Discussion Thread - 2022

Well if the yields are there AC could add a 77W to the route if needs be. This is a route that is covered under the A++ JV with UA no?

Re: UA announces SFO-DEL/MEL/YYZ; Expands AKL/AMS/PPT/ICN.

Does anyone know why EWR-ICN hasn't been selected as a new route in the past couple of years? I thought it would be a prime candidate once UA received 787s. A potential EWR-ICN flight would be challenging to sustain without strong feed from at least one end of the route, or strong premium travel de...

Re: Possibility of Air Canada expansion in the UK?

As much as id love to see the 7M8 open new routes for AC out of YYZ, isn’t the problem more of gate space in YYZ esp at T1 on the international side? Hence the need for the RV763s rather than narrow bodies? I think you’d more likely see YUL-Europe or Canada-Star Alliance Hub instead.
