Maybe the government finally throwing some money into securing direct connections to Europe is making a difference. We've been so far behind, one of the most expensive airports for airlines to land at, and gen nickeling and diming them for everything like we were the ones doing them a favour letting them fly here. Things might be turning around and we're starting to play ball.

Is the YYT-LGW flight subsidized?
