Never understood why WestJet never bought Transat. That would have been a good combination. I wonder what's going on with Sunwing. They would seem to be am okay candidate to merge with WestJet.

Westjet was preoccupied with many things on their plate in the last little bit. They had a dispute with their pilots, the 787 acquisition/starting international routes, Swoop and Westjet Link to name a few. Then Onex came along and I suspect AC got rightly concerned as Onex could have scooped AT up along with Westjet, hence the offer.

Had Onex bought both at the same time, maybe it would have worked.

Sunwing isn't really the direction Westjet wants to go (more Europe) and doesn't do much for bolstering its position in Quebec.

What Buffett did a few weeks ago should tell you plenty about investing in an airline right about now.

I don't think AC will go ahead with the TS merger either, but not because the government wont approve it. They will. They would be foolish not too. AC will find another way to wiggle itself out of the deal. They can't afford to take on more planes/employees at the moment when the flying public has all but disappeared.

I don't think Francois Legault, if anyone, will let TS tank. The Quebec government made sure BBD survived a few years ago. The'll make sure TS does as well. It might not be as big as it is today, but it'll be here, one way or another.

Basically, even if the deal doesn't happen, federal and provincial governments will most likely help out each and every major airline in this country to ensure their survival. In a weird way, COVID might ensure the TS name lives on.
Onex's timing was aboslutely terrible but who could have foreseen it? I can't imagine why anyone thinks buying Transat would be desirable for him at this point.

YYC saw a 95% drop in passenger levels in April. Only 67,700 passed through. In 2019, that's what the airport would have seen in a single day. May will be even worse, as April still had a decent domestic schedule, as well as KLM and Alaska.
https://www.yyc.com/News/tabid/91/ar...-in-April.aspx

Only 345 international passengers. Still better than the 0 that will pass through in May. Could even be more than what will pass though in June too. (Just Edelweiss is left in June, and that isn't looking very good either.)

Compared with YOW, YYC had a ‘good’ month. Normally YYC handles about 3.5 times the traffic of YOW. In April YYC handled 9.5 times the traffic of YOW.

I agree. That’s a decent result for YYC. It might even be more than YUL. I guess we’ll know soon enough.

The Italian government had debt and economic growth problems prior to this whole COVID thing and I imagine that it hasn't improved the situation.

Alitalia may be a victim of the Italian government cuts. Given that it has shrunk from credible flag-carrier to also-ran over the last decade, it might be an easy sacrifice.

Then again, it never fails to disappoint. Maybe some other foolish airline will dump a pile of cash into it.

I agree the April numbers weren't as bad as they could have been, I was mostly saying that May will likely see a larger drop with a slow recovery from June onward.

Some additional positive news is WestJet's bookings in July appear to be fairly decent (at the moment).

Air Canada today said they were resuming service to YXU London starting June 22. No idea the flights or frequencies as yet but it's a good sign for sure, since the airport has been down to 4 flights a week on Encore to YYZ. I imagine AC will be ramping up other regional services in their network at the same time.

Air Canada is seeking government approval to add five new destinations in Europe and South America to its air freight network starting 1 June, seeking to take advantage of demand for cargo capacity even as passenger travel demand remains stagnant.

If approved, the Canadian flag carrier would operate air freight deliveries from its hub in Montreal to Bogota, Lima, Amsterdam, Dublin and Madrid.

That’s rather shocking given currently AA to PHL and DL to DTW are the only two airlines flying transborder currently out of YOW. I imagine they’ll be back eventually but for now they’re gone as opposed to UA who have merely suspended YOW.

That means as of mid-June YOW will have zero transborder service until later in the year.

YOW is Air Canada's bitch. And in the age of passenger loads being able to fit in a car, there's no point trying to compete where there's no edge. Post-TS, AC is going to absolutely dominate international and transborder out of YOW and YUL.

Are there still 14 day isolation restrictions in effect for Germany, Ontario and Quebec? Wonder what kind of loads they can expect if the restrictions are still in effect (perhaps residents only versus visitors?)

thenoflyzone Jun 2, 2020 5:15 PM
I think the EU wants to lift restrictions for non-EU citizens by June 15, and Germany thus far has followed the EU guidelines. Not sure if they will go ahead with that plan though.

Considering YUL is one of only 7 long haul destinations LH is resuming from MUC, I tend to guess loads are better than expected. Don’t forget, it’s a hub-hub route and is only 3x weekly. Seat capacity is also limited, so considering all of those conditions, wouldn’t surprise me to see the flights close to ”full”, so to speak.

Same thing for FRA-YYZ.

If by Ontario and Quebec you mean Canada then the answer is yes. International arrivals to Canada must self isolate. Province of arrival is irrelevant.

Having a guaranteed full cargo hold paying a premium to be at the front of the line helps the numbers quite a bit.

When Quebec brings down its Covid-19 cases (over half of cases in Canada are in Quebec!), then KLM will reconsider when to resume flying to YUL.

thenoflyzone Jun 2, 2020 10:00 PM
It's called AF-KL for a reason. AF never stopped serving YUL, so in essence, KL still serves YUL, just not via AMS. In that context, I understand their decision not to resume YUL for now. YYC and YVR are currently not served by the AF-KL group, so it makes sense for those cities to get KL first.

I dont think that matters. Quebec's covid count is still nothing compared to other jurisdictions in North America.

If it did matter, no foreign airlines would fly to JFK or EWR either, or anywhere else in the US for that matter. Yet they are.

Why did YOW lose many US destinations and airlines for this summer while YQB hasn't lost yet any frequency, airline or destination to the US even in July?

Those are:
UA YQB-EWR 3-4x daily

Cathay just updated their July scheds too. YVR will be their only long haul destination served daily. This is still so crazy to read, long haul frequencies of 3 weekly were essentially unheard of before, now that is considered good :o

Cathay Pacific in the last few days gradually filed changes to its schedule and inventory, as interim schedule extended to late-July 2020. For the month of July 2020, the airline continues to restore various long-haul flights, with additional frequencies added in the second half.

Planned changes as of 01JUN20 as follows. Further changes remain possible.

Hong Kong – Amsterdam 3 weekly A350-1000XWB (5 weekly from 18JUL20)
Hong Kong – Frankfurt 3 weekly A350-1000XWB (5 weekly from 20JUL20)
Hong Kong – London Heathrow 5 weekly A350-1000XWB (1 daily from 20JUL20)
Hong Kong – Los Angeles 4 weekly A350-1000XWB (1 daily from 15JUL20)
Hong Kong – Melbourne 3 weekly A350-1000XWB (4 weekly from 21JUL20)
Hong Kong – New York JFK 3 weekly 777-300ER
Hong Kong – Paris CDG eff 20JUL20 3 weekly A350-1000XWB
Hong Kong – San Francisco 3 weekly A350-900XWB (4 weekly from 18JUL20)
Hong Kong – Sydney 5 weekly A350-1000XWB (1 daily from 20JUL20)
Hong Kong – Toronto 3 weekly A350-1000XWB
Hong Kong – Vancouver 1 daily 777-300ER/A350-900XWB

LAX, LHR and SYD are going daily as well a few weeks after YVR.

With the protests regaining intensity in HKG, even all those 3x weekly frequencies look generous.

Unlikely to help even if Canada allows transit passengers from US.

All flights to China from anywhere in the world are full for at least 1-2 months. The one that are either won't be running at all (like AC's daily PEK/PVG starting July), or does not allow transit for China-bound passengers (HKG).

KLM has now loaded it's revised July schedule. As noted above in the press release only YVR and YYC will resume in addition to YYZ.

YYZ - Daily 78J
YVR - 3x weekly 78J replacing 77W
YYC - 2x weekly 772 replacing 333

Edelweiss also loaded a revised full summer schedule and both YVR & YYC survived with reduced frequencies (for now).

thenoflyzone Jun 3, 2020 7:31 PM
To tie in with the KL schedules, AF is slowly increasing service to YUL this month. Currently 4x weekly this week, going to 5x weekly next week, and to daily as of June 15.

They haven't finalized July yet, as most of the month is still showing 3 to 4 daily to YUL.

Edit: In other news, based on google flights, Royal Air Maroc is showing 2x daily to YUL as of June 16. Don't know if they simply haven't updated their schedules past that date, or if those flights are actually happening. it's only 2 weeks away, so we shall see. Also, TK is showing 2x weekly YUL service from June 14 and 3x weekly to YYZ from June 10. By the end of June, both routes are showing their normal frequencies, which are 3x weekly and 6x weekly, respectively. YVR launch, as mentioned on the YVR thread, is delayed to mid July.

Already posted this earlier, and no, it won’t do much for transfer traffic at YYZ or YVR. The Chinese government will most likely buckle and give in by the deadline anyways.

AC already made this change back in April, and doesn’t necessarily mean it will actually operate. We still don’t even know when LHR will resume. But the fact that they scheduled a 787 rather than just cancelling the route is at least a positive sign.

It is encouraging, that's for sure.

Still plenty of Rouge routes are still showing B763 next summer though. So plenty of shuffling will happen, fleet wise.

In other news, BA will resume passenger flights to YYZ and YVR next month.

What kind of testing are you talking about? A temperature test is pointless, as you can be asymptomatic and still have COVID. You would need a swab test, or something else, that will tell you right away if you have the virus or not. That kind of screening costs more money, and getting the results right away probably costs even more money. Hence why officials aren't quick to act.

All the temperature test is tell you who has a high temperature and for some silly reason chose not to take some medication.
