WS' full winter schedule hasn't been released yet so I still think there's a good chance at MSP being upped.

Well today,It looks a like Delta/ Skywest CRJ 900 scheduled 1 passenger flight ✈️ today between Minneapolis MSP-Edmonton YEG - MSP Wednesday June 12 2024. 1st time Delta CRJ plane has landed/taken off since early 2020.

Maybe 🤔 they’re testing yeg out again for a possible Winter 2024 return for flights on this route?

Delta 8948 flight ✈️ from Fort Lauderdale FLL to Edmonton YEG a Boeing 757-200 plane carrying the NHL Florida Panthers hockey team. It was delayed 3hrs and 21 minutes departing FLL due to weather & landed around 8pm Edmonton Time.

Maybe this explains the WJ reductions, 1x daily from each airline and DL's return would be sweet.

If Delta returns to the route then I’d say WS will drop it. I can’t think of one route WS/Delta both fly. They usually just code share on each others planes.

I don't think this was more than a special flight for whatever reason.

WS seems content with the MSP and ATL expansion at least for the time being.

YEG can absorb more trans-border/international capacity hopefully in due time. but definitely EIA needs to think beyond WS. yesterday, I got off my flight from YLW and picked up my luggage at the same belt as a YYC flight. Almost every bag from YYC was a connection from some place (a bunch of WS 5, WS 7).
