Weaker increases yes. Declines, no.
At least not this year, and for sure not at YYZ/YUL, or even at YOW/YHZ. A lot of added capacity in these markets. Especially now, with peak summer just around the corner. I doubt YVR will see a decline as well. AC is adding a lot of new flights, especially from YYZ/YUL, but also from YVR to a resurging TPAC market (Japan especially, but also Australia, South Korea, Thailand, etc)
Last month, AC launched YUL-MAD/AUS/STL/TQO/MSY and YYZ-CHS/TQO, and this, on top of some domestic additions as well.
This week is a big one for AC. 4 new routes are starting.
YYZ-ARN
YUL-ARN
YYZ-KIX
YUL-ICN
TS started YUL-RAK this week as well.
Earlier in June, Avianca started YUL-SAL, following on the heels of launching YUL-BOG in March. Next week, SY launches MSY-YUL.
Swiss and ITA started YYZ. Virgin just announced Toronto as well.
There is no decline at the big hubs out east. Quite the contrary.
Mark Galardo (AC Executive VP - Revenue and Network Planning) was at an event in Montreal a couple of days ago. Spoke at about the incredible growth AC has had at YUL in the last 20 years. Touched on YYZ and YVR as well.
