Also interesting news on UAL. They have had that rotation in the sked for a while, they continue to play with that schedule. Nice to see some Q400's up here at YEG.

I have no doubt considering YEG is seeking service to Frankfurt and Amsterdam that this airline could very easily fill that niche by filtering through Keflavik, not to mention the vast array of other European cities also served. That's what Icelandair's model is built around is using Keflavik as its hub for onward connections to mainland Europe and vice versa.

From 88 news: "United Airlines scrubbed the 6:10 flight to Denver; the 6:27 flight to San Francisco, the 7:30 flight to Chicago and the noon hour flight to Chicago. No reason given but it may be related to federal budget trouble in the US that has impacted operations at some major airports."

Anyone know what is going on?

AOG International Freight Logistics relocates to Edmonton International Airport
One-Stop Freight Logistics Company joins EIA Cargo Village

March 5, 2013 (Edmonton, AB) – AOG International Freight Logistics, has expanded operations and moved “on-airport” at Edmonton International Airport (EIA). The locally-owned company specializes in freight forwarding and project logistics and is one of the fastest-growing freight forwarding companies in Canada with 28 per cent growth in 2012.

The new location provides a cost-effective operating base for AOG, with immediate access to air cargo carriers, the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Canamex trade corridor) and the Leduc-Nisku Industrial Park (largest energy park in Canada and second largest in North America).

“It is very exciting to join the growing EIA Cargo Village community. This excellent location is next to the cargo carriers we work with daily. We like EIA’s vision and want to be part of the great things happening here,” said Christina Forth-Matthews, President and CEO of AOG.

"AOG International is a valuable addition to EIA’s Cargo Village, and fills the increasing need for freight forwarding in Alberta and northern Canada. We're really pleased to welcome AOG International to the EIA family," said Myron Keehn, EIA Vice President of Commercial Development.

I was under the impression the cancellations were weather-related.

tuffyy · #**7888** Posted **Mar 5, 2013, 6:16 PM**

Indeed, Chicago at least is enveloped in a pretty decent snowstorm. Lots of delays and cancellations...

Today's US flight cancellations due to snowstorm in midwestern US, not US budget cuts. Check http://www.flyeia.com . http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/05/us-usa-weather-idUSBRE9230H920130305 …

As a result of at least a few Air Canada cancellations from YYZ the airline is sending in a 777-300 this afternoon (AC 7111) arriving around 430 this afternoon.

hilman · #**7891** Posted **Mar 5, 2013, 6:50 PM**

Would like to see that 349 seater coming in

Would rather be a passenger that just got bumped off a A320 to that beast!!!

Coldrsx · #**7893** Posted **Mar 5, 2013, 6:55 PM**

777-300 was such an incredible bird to fly in... lucky folks, well somewhat I guess.
