AC might be trying to shake the federal government down for a subsidy on their regional routes, as speculated in the Canadian Airport Thread. If it doesn't work, they've not lost much. COVID gives them an avenue to get out of a business they don't really want to be in but have previously maintained for PR reasons.

I wonder if PAL would consider expanding operations to the Maritimes? There could be an opening here for them now - the old niche formerly occupied by EPA.
