Not sure about this part. The Classic and Q are quite different and are seperate. I know a few ex-classic dash pilots for Jazz and they never flew the Q.

I stand corrected.

It sounds like Lynx Air will be announcing its 1st Domestic destinations within Canada Soon,where they plan to fly ✈️ to when it starts up sometime 2022. According to their social media post Monday January 10. https://twitter.com/lynx_air/status/...607035396?s=21

With Lynx 1st 3 New Boeing 737Max8 planes based at Calgary Airport & YYC is very likely 1st of the Lynx Domestic destinations of course!

Now we just wait to find out their other few new destinations in Canada.

Sounds like their first destinations will be YYC, YOW, YYZ & YVR. Will be interesting to see if they go point-to-point or hub & spoke. My guess is the latter.

Interesting. Is this your twitter handle by the way (just curious haha!) https://twitter.com/fan_vancouver.

Haha must be ^^^

Yep it is.

Interesting article about the waste of slot squatting in Europe in Canada's Skies Magazine: https://www.wingsmagazine.com/near-e...landing-slots/

^ In a world where we are routinely badgered by e-mail signatures that say "Think Twice Before Printing", that is absolutely nuts. It sort of makes me wonder why I bother hauling out the recycling when you have empty planes flying for no other reason than to keep an airport slot.

Some recycling pollutes more than just throwing it away. Green washing is a thing. But flying planes empty is scandalous.

Air Canada currently has 29 Boeing 787-9 planes✈️ and it looks they have Exercised 3 option orders for 3 new 787-9 planes- 1 to be delivered sometime in 2022 & 2 to be delivered sometime in 2023 according to Wikipedia.

Old news

Looks like Lynx will be announcing routes tomorrow!

YVR, YYC, YYZ, YOW

I was expecting 4 or maybe even 5 routes in total for good utilization of the first three planes. YVR-YYC and YYC-YYZ would have good utilization but I don't see them flying to YOW daily, which isn't really much use of three planes (unless they fly say 2x daily YYC-YVR/YYZ and daily or sub daily YYC-YOW)

If they hub at YYC, they can easily fly YYZ/YVR-YYC 2x daily and YOW-YYC daily and still have slack with 3 aircraft. The 2nd YYC-YYZ could be a red-eye, whereas YOW could be a RON.

We'll find out within the next few hours though the exact details.

YYC finally released October and November stats:

October 2021:
Domestic: 652,359 (+111.8%)
Transborder: 98,179 (+615.7%)
