Allegiant is a ULCC but it's smaller than the others in terms of their route network, though. Most of their business is funneling people from smaller cities into Vegas and sun destinations, it's not quite the same as Frontier/Spirit.

It seems as if the flights indicate what base operates the flights. 3XX is YOW. The only non 3XX flight numbers are 6XX for YXX (likely YXX crew-operated) and 1XX for YWG (likely YYZ crew-operated in a W pattern).

YYC's base seems to be 8XX. YYC-YLW is 5XX, so it must originate at YKF.

YUL-YYC is 9XX, while YUL-YHZ is 8XX, so who knows there.

And now Avelo too.

Frontier and Spirit merging will make them bigger than JetBlue. It'll likely get approved by the DOT as their networks don't overlap very much.

WestJet’s Sunmer 2022 schedules currently looks like it’s focusing on its 3 busiest hubs at Calgary YYC, Toronto YYZ & Vancouver YVR with more flights/additional frequencies, which not that surprising!!

A good example of it :WS YYC - Abbotsford YXX currently is 3x daily & Summer upto 6x daily.

YEG's getting an additional $10M from Transport Canada: https://www.newswire.ca/news-release...892350135.html

AC's newest 223 has a Disney promo:

YMM and five unnamed AB regional airports are also getting Transport Canada funding: https://www.newswire.ca/news-release...840347295.html

Seems like SK will add ARN-YYZ and CPH-YYZ for S22.

About time they start YYZ. Both routes will be flown with the A321LR.

Swoop added Charlottetown and Moncton last week and are adding Deer Lake and Saint John this week to its Summer program.

All from either YEG,YHM,YYZ.

The newest generation of narrowbody aircraft sure has legs.

It wasn’t long ago that Pearson to Europe was a widebody mandated trip.

I look forward to increased secondary European destination options from YYZ.

Yes the use of longer range narrow bodies is really a boon for airports within thie range, it really makes so many more destinations possible. Toronto was really a natural choice, and the split between both CPH and ARN is good, rather than daily one or the other.

A signal WestJet plans to (possibly) add these seasonal Canada flights to Moncton, Saint John & Deer Lake also on its Mainline from their hub in Calgary YYC? Will see when WS officially announces their full Summer 2022 schedules in the coming weeks.

WestJet mainline already operates YYC - Charlottetown PEI during Summer seasonally.

Agreed. A few things to consider though.

The A321LR range is 4,000 nm, no wind. ARN-YYZ is over 3,400 nm. Should be fine in the summer, but it will be interesting to see this route operate westbound in the dead of winter, with those nasty headwinds, which can easily add 1-2 hours to the flight time compared to the summer ops.

CO/UA operated their B757s (same range as the -LR) on TXL-EWR (almost same distance as ARN-YYZ) for years, and diversions were pretty standard in the winter months.

One thing going for SAS is that their A321LRs don't have many seats. Only 157 seats in a 3 class configuration. Compare that to TS, which has 199 seats on their A321LR's. So SAS should be able to fly further will a full passenger load.

When it comes to the -LR, this route is probably at the limits of what the plane can do, consistently, year round. Anything further would require the extra legs of the -XLR.

So the new Atlantic Canada routes are with peak weekly frequencies:

YDF-YHM-YEG 1x
YDF-YHM 1x
YDF-YYZ 2x
YYT-YHM 5x
YYG-YYZ 2x
YYG-YHM-YEG 2x
YYG-YHM 2x
YHZ-YOW-YWG 4x - plus AC, WS, F8 & PD on the route
YHZ-YOW-YEG 1x
YHZ-YOW 2x
YQM-YHM-YEG 2x
YQM-YHM 2x
YSJ-YYZ 4x - sort of welcome back WS to YSJ

More's the pity. This is a step backward. Widebodies are way better in terms of passenger comfort.

How so? Seating on the SAS A321LRs looks identical to what you would expect to see on a widebody. Lie-flat business, spacious premium economy seats and regular economy.

Not really. I'd rather have an 18" wide seat on a 321LR than a 17" wide seat on a 9-abreast 787.

Also, the long range narrowbodies should open up more secondary and tertiary cities, reducing connections. Huge for cities like Halifax, Quebec City, Ottawa and Edmonton.

100% agree.

Swoop's expansion includes another surprise. For their next six tails, instead of hand-me-down 738s, they're getting part of WS' order of factory-new 7M8s.
