Yes, it certainly is a major downgrade. For a short while when they first introduced the seasonal route they had three flights per day, one of them being on the Boeing 787–9 as you say. They were also meant to operate one daily flight year round. If memory serves me correctly, they only had the year round portion for one season. It really makes me question how they do their route planning. I can’t imagine the demand has changed this dramatically over the last few years. Last year they even ended up adding a second daily flight for September and October.
I speculate that this change might might have something to do with WestJet offering a full season of YVR – YHZ flights from late April up until the end of October. I wish Porter would start operating on this route.
On another front they have also reduced the season for YVR – YQB. The seasonal flights to Quebec City now begin on June 1, 2026 rather than the beginning of May.
