Re: The WestJet Thread - 2022

I was bored and looked at the booking for YYC-FCO and wow, they're quite impressive. I wonder if next summer (not this one) WS might add some more Europe from YYC. I’d imagine so. But also from YYZ and YVR. As per their current sked it seems they will have 8x 789s in the fleet next summer, with som...

Re: The WestJet Thread - 2022

You of course make good points Jimbo737. My point is that even into Westjet's "hub" of YYC from YUL they are not even close to competing. That is unlike in the USA where there is solid competition between various hubs that includes multiple carriers. I understand that Westjet chose to lea...

Re: The WestJet Thread - 2022

WS loaded some summer changes.

Re: Flair Airlines Network Thread - 2022

Anyone knows the number of planes they currently have? it would be interesting to see utilization numbers as I've been checking constantly on flight radar and haven't seen more than 5 flights airborne at the time. 12 according to airfleet.net December 2021 sked with 12 planes: 7.6 hours/day. Not go...

Re: Flair Airlines Network Thread - 2021

Hello all - hate to interrupt the debate but I was wondering if anyone had some insight as to what happened to YYZ-YOW…flew the route some months ago and went to book it again for January, but it doesn’t seem to be offered any longer? I believe it was summer seasonal , have you tried booking it for...

Re: The WestJet Thread - 2021

Looking at the current 787 schedule, WS will need at least 7 planes to make it work. On Saturday alone there's: YYC-LGW/LHR/CDG/DUB/FCO, and YYZ/YVR LGW. I imagine there will be more changes unless Boeing can sort out the delivery delays. Also YYC is now looking at upwards of 9 widebodies on gate b...

Curious as to which terminal at LHR they will use. It would make sense that it ultimately be Terminal 4 (when it reopens) as that's where the Skyteam carriers are located.

I believe it will be terminal 2.

Re: Air Canada News And Discussion Thread - 2021

I see that Airbus is sending two A350's to YUL today, both just approaching the coast of NL. AIB001 is the A350-900, and AIB002 is the A350-1000. Is this show Air Canada specific, or are these headed elsewhere ? Just curious if Airbus is courting Air Canada. It's their "fly like geese" pr...

Re: The WestJet Thread - 2021

I'm also curious. It seems to some effect like they used the YHZ (and YYT) B737 European flying initially as a testbed. I could see them trying YHZ MAN in S2022, as they were slated to try it in S2020. YHZ offers connections from basically the entire WJ network in the summer, and from the data they...

Here is where WJ (& AC) may get in to trouble with their YYZ - GLA / EDI service. Both are just under 2900 nm Great Circle route from YYZ, which in practice means the aircraft will probably fly close to 3000 nm when all is said and done, which is right at the limit of what a Max 8 can do. Headi...

Re: The WestJet Thread - 2021

I too was curious. That newspaper article that someone linked to did not specify the aircraft type, and I didn't bother to poke around the WJ website. Here's a few other European Max routes that they may be considering. 1. YUL - CDG -- the market from La Belle Province to Paris in the summer is lim...
