Swoop adding YYZ-PUJ 2x weekly: https://www.newswire.ca/news-release...823323997.html

Yawn!
Wonder if the "swoop" model even works. When I think of PUJ I think of bundled packages from AirTransat or Sungwing. Not clear I would buy the air and hotel separately.

China doe not allow Canada to operate non-stop flights into Beijing (which AC wants), and thus Canada also does not allow China to operate non-stop flights to Beijing (result in cancellation of inbound non-stop flights YVR->PEK on CA and YYZ->PEK on HU).
Air Canada is the only Canada airlines that that has China nonstop flights✈️. The unused frenqencies are allocated for to AC.

WestJet is more focus on Mexico,Sun destinations & Europe currently for its international flights currently.

They're partnering with Sunwing I believe.

YHM has been getting the leftovers again...

Its like we've seen this before when two other carriers moved from YHM to YYZ...

Lufthansa's Munich - Vancouver route got extended end of March 2021, 3x weekly using the A359. https://twitter.com/theaeronetwork/s...521923590?s=20

Interesting Lufthansa Vancouver- Munich Germany flights are year round from Western Canada. There must be enough passengers & cargo demand to make it work.

That’s why I would not be surprised *if* WestJet (WS) starts up Summer Seasonal Calgary- Munich Germany flights from Western Canada using its 787’s up to 2-3 weekly to compete with Lufthansa on it eventually. WestJet doesn’t have Germany flights yet, but Munich is more likely for them rather than competing with Air Canada on Calgary-Frankfurt routing.

I wonder about other airlines then like Alitalia, KLM or American Airlines

Lufthansa Group (not just LH) has seen North Atlantic ticket sales triple, now that Canada is open to fully vaccinated travellers and the US is opening up as well come November.

LH Group flights that are resuming in Canada in the next month.

-Austrian resumes YUL tomorrow. Initially 3x weekly, up to 4x weekly as of November.
-LH resumes MUC-YUL on Oct 31. 5x weekly

And now LH MUC-YVR going year round. All signs LH Group is trying to capitalize on the rebound that is happening in the TATL market. In the US, they are seeing strong demand to NY and Florida.

By comparison, Asia-Pac region for LH group (and most European or NA carriers, to be honest) is dead.

Come November, LH Group will have more flights to New York and ORD than to the entire Asia-Pac region combined.

The US I could understand, especially the southern states for the winter. Winter tourism in Canada? Aside from the mountains? I have a harder time with believing that.

It's also fun to wonder where the baseline for triple is as many airports in Canada have posted absolutely huge year-over-year gains due to having basically no passengers from the year prior.

Compete with what exactly? MUC is a Star hub, WJ has absolutely no feed on the otherside, and I'm pretty sure YYC doesn't have the market to fill a 789 on just O&D to MUC.

For Canada, the majority of the demand is probably the other way around for winter. Canada>Europe. The fact Europeans can now travel to Canada shouldn't be brushed under the table either. There was pent-up demand for sure. Either way you slice it, LH group is seeing something, considering the aforementioned routes are all starting in Oct, usually a weakish travel month.

Exactly. Unlike AMS/CDG/FCO, where WS has a codeshare or interline partner, they have none of that at MUC. So they would need to rely purely on O&D alone from western Canada to MUC to fill the flight. With LH just upping YVR to year round, it will be hard for WS to penetrate that market and gain a significant share of the pie, without onward feed.

London, England can work with O&D alone. Not sure MUC can from YYC. They'll probably have more success with a route like BCN, where leisure demand from Canada far outweighs MUC.

And to mention, not even FCO anymore seeing as AZ has 2 weeks left.

As of now I can't find anything that mentions if ITA will be part of an alliance.

WS didn’t really have much of a relationship with AZ to begin with. I don’t think they were after onwards connections at FCO.

The first minute of this video of Vancouver from 1985 has come retro shots of aircraft at YVR starting with an Expo '86 CP 747 landing. Also just past the 13 minute mark there's a bit of Abbotsford Airshow coverage.

FCO, like LHR/LGW, can work on O&D alone as well, albeit seasonally.

DHL Express on September 28 officially opened the doors to its new facility in Hamilton, Ontario, located at the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport. The company invested $100 million to build the new facility, four times the size of the original building also located at Hamilton International Airport, in order to meet significant increase in shipping volumes.

An inside look at DHL’s new $100-million sorting facility

Details from the story:
- Located at 65 East Cargo Rd.
- DHL's largest sorting facility in Canada
- One of four in N. America that's fully-automated
- Employs almost 400
- Can process 28,000 packages/hour
- 238,000 square feet of warehouse space
- 1.75 km of conveyor belts
- 6 electric forklifts
Hamilton Airport officials see nothing but yellow sunshine with DHL's $100-million expansion

Quote:
He said plans are already underway within the massive building to increase the hub area. He said proposals are to expand it in 2022, because “this was one of the smoothest (relocation) transitions of any building in the DHL network.”

Bargotra said DHL can double the capacity within a year, possibly hitting 200,000 packages.

First casualty of the FAA slot waiver for winter 2021-2022.

DL has zeroed out all YUL-LGA flights until April. Will be interesting to see if other Canada-US flights get cut because of this.

(This only affects flights to JFK, DCA, LGA, LAX, SFO, ORD and EWR, which are all the slot controlled or schedule facilitated airports in the US)

Given the FAA will base exemptions on the winter 2019-20 IATA season, will be interesting to see if they allow DL to still retain unused slots that were formerly used for flights to YOW and YHZ, two airports DL have stated are “suspended indefinitely”?

Unfortunately on the domestic slots it’ll lead to environmentally unfriendly slot squatting.

Hmm... seems like AC now update their schedule on Saturday night/Sunday morning? I just checked mid-day Saturday and they didn't have this change...

YYZ-BOM, on the other hand, had been removed for the winter.

Before: 7x 77W DEL, 4x 77L BOM
After: 10x 789 DEL
