Not sure why you felt the need to add a sarcastic eye roll. They’re all pretty sensible additions especially with F8 closing their YOW base. The capacity PD is adding at YOW is pretty much restoring summertime capacity on those routes to a bit more than pre-pandemic levels. Even with all these additions, YOW at this point for summer 2024 is still well below overall summer 2019 seat capacity when the airport handled 5.1 million pax and the planned summer 2020 seats would have put 5.3 million passengers through the airport that year.
2024 might recover YOW to 4.7 million if Porter add a few more routes. YYT-YOW would be the most obvious additional summer addition and is one of many former YOW routes that have yet to see service restored on.
PS: since you’re in YVR, why would a second daily PD on YOW-YVR seem excessive when AC are planning to fly the 789 on 1 of 3 dailies on the same route?
