Speaking of ZRH

The inaugural AC802 is scheduled to depart in just under an hour from D6.

C-GHPX is the 788 for today.

My buddy is flying home on the return trip standby and says it is only half sold.

That’s actually not bad for inaugurals. Bi-directional travel can’t kick in until both sides travel pattern flows meet up.

I remember (back in the day) the first few seasonal flights to MAN had maybe 75 passengers out of 450 seats on a 747 classic!

And she’s off!

AC802 climbing over the interior.

Took off on 08R right behind rouge to KIX. So long rouge!

ETA in ZRH showing almost an hour early too.

This is really great to see AC mainline to ZRH and CDG. Just too bad it has to be seasonal. (I know the YVR market could not yet support year-round).
But for me, AF is expensive, plus it would be good to have a mainline from Switzerland to YVR year-round, were that possible. Maybe one day ......

Looking at tomorrow's gate assignment, no remote stand needed, at least for now.

Most gate got at least 2 international arrivals and departures during late-morning to early-afternoon. Gate 49 got 3 international arrivals in the morning... and gate 76 is now being used for international.

A good thing the expansion of the international gates has commenced. When an airport is maxed out 100% all it takes is one irrop to stuff things up.

AC 802 just landed in ZRH about 10 mins ago..... AC803 turnaround back to YVR in about 2h20m.

Nevermind that.

Now, seems like UA5419 from LAX will use the remote stand E85 for arrival.

First time I've seen E85 being used... and also first time I've seen UA uses the remote stand at YVR.

Short for irregular operations - basically, anything that goes wrong with a flight eg weather, mechanical problem, etc.

Regarding the derouging... the only market that comes to mind is YVR-CTS ( Sapporo ). There's O&D traffic between the two.

I wonder why Gate E 85 remote stand is being used There seems to be gates available around that time in the East Aprom hold room gates E 90 - 96, they couls certainly ground-load regional jets if need be an use gates 90 92 for mainline flights.

Interesting that WS to YHZ is increased to 7 weekly, but not by making it daily. Instead there are 3 days of twice daily, and then 1 day of 1 flight. Not the typical way we're used to seeing flights, assumption would be daily flights, not this set up

Not a huge surprise given that YYZ added almost no new routes early in the year. YVR has been adding new routes at a pretty torrid pace over the past 18 months.

Ya I guess? I've just never seen any airport with larger numbers than the juggernaut and favoured YYZ.
