Back in mid oct there was some discussion of the federal government selling airports to raise Infrastructure money, has anything esle been said about it?
This would be a horrible move for the Trudeau goverment to akd.
The AC maps, as we know, are an indication of some of the routes AC is exploring. Some have already started, some may not. Also keep in mind some new routes have started or been announced that are not on this map (DEL, DUB, LGW). The key word is "opportunities." Other airlines will be looking at other opportunities and perhaps some of those overlap with AC's opportunities.
Let's say for the sake of argument there won't be any new airline and/or route announcements coming. Just look at everything YVR has mustered up in just the last 12 months. It's actually at the point of mind boggling now to have so many new flights and routes opening in such a short period. Of course there will be a select few who will whinge and whine about not being enough or going to the wrong places.... a smallish market like YVR still has limitations as to just how big it can get. Back to the key word of "opportunities" yes there are still plenty of realistic opportunities... but the key word now is "realistic."
In any event... I won't say anything else about this.
Anyone think Air Canada would be better off mainlining Phoenix and Palm Springs and increasing the frequency from 3 and 2 weekly respectively? I just think with these frequencies its hard to attract customers from Westjet who runs daily to Phoenix and 2 daily to palm springs.

Westjet seems to be doing well with Phoenix and Palm Springs, unless I'm wrong. Is there any reason you'd like AC to grab a slice of the action?

Im always a fan of increased competition and I also am curious on the performance of the route for AC. 2 weekly flights to PSP would not be demonstrate an attempt to gain frequent travellers as flight days are too in frequent. I speculate the move was aircraft dependent as Rouge no longer has a a319 base at YVR, so the 763 are a bit large to be flying into PSP daily or whatever, which is why im curious if this becomes mainline in the near future with a daily C-series or something.
Does anyone know if China Eastern is planning to keep the Nanjing'Kunming non-stops after March 26th? It's currently only showing to this date, and then back to PVG only. The press release didn't specify and end date, just a start date. I hope these stick around!
China Eastern on Tuesday (08NOV16) adjusted planned operation for 1-stop Kunming – Vancouver operation. From 20DEC16, the Skyteam member will operate Kunming – Nanjing – Vancouver, instead of via Shanghai. Operational will continue to see 3 weekly flights by A330-200, with following modified schedule.
Chinese airlines usually update changes very late, and most are still adjusting winter schedule instead of the summer ones. Sichuan just recently reduce SHE-YVR down to 1x weekly after March 26, despite launching the CGO route more than a month ago. They are just not too worried about bumping passengers around very close to departure date...
