In any case, hats off to Calgary, and YYC and Westjet!! Yee-haw !!!
oh, and I forgot to mention Abu Dhabi on ETIHAD. Way to go !!!

Fair points
(WS) WestJet currently has only (7) Boeing 787-9 all already used pretty on YYC - Europe & Asia + seasonal to Mexico/ Hawaii US & plus (new) this winter to 3x weekly São Paulo Brazil✅.
WS has (9) more 787 planes ✈️on order with deliveries in a few years time -which they probably be based at Calgary YYC & with some room to add a bit from Toronto YYZ/ Vancouver YVR too .

As for South America flights from YVR - it will likely be on (AC) Air Canada once they get deliveries of the new Boeing 787-10.
