Is there a way to see the YOW-Europe flights and when they run?

I know YOW-LHR is daily year round, but is the YOW-FRA year-round as well or is it only seasonal?

YOW-FRA is during the summer only. Usually from the middle of May until the end of October. There's no easy way to see the exact dates that I know of, but you can do dummy bookings on AC around those dates to find out.

It doesn't give you the full year, but the other option is to download the AC's timetable pdf. Page 120 shows:

I went to sunwing.ca and it appears that FLL is no longer bookable from Ottawa. So I guess in terms of capacity nothing changes.

YOWflier · #**3106** Posted **Oct 19, 2018, 2:40 PM**

Looks like it. I'm OK with the new destination rather than a double-up of FLL (even if FLL is more useful for me personally).

Yup looks like the exact same flight numbers and departure times and I'm guessing everyone booked on YOW-FLL is now booked on YOW-MIA, which likely will annoy some folks.

Agreed. So I guess the Airport Authority can no longer have MIA on their wish list, but rather AA daily, year-round to MIA is now how to coin the wish list.

This past Sunday I saw WS' brand-new 7M8 in the new livery. Not sure if it's the only one thus far. It was parked at gate 27.

Surprised no one has posted on here about the midair collision near YRP. RIP to the deceased pilot.

A couple of incidents involving YOW on avherald.com:

It's so weird. Was driving with the family down Carp Rd to Fitzroy at about the time of the accident and was commenting on a very low-flying plane just South of the village of Carp. I wonder if that was one of the planes involved in the accident? Pretty crazy thing to happen and sounds like was just a perfect storm of blind spots and ascending/descending aircraft. I would bet that TMA has some insights??

Anyone miss seeing or hearing the loud deafening noise of a Boeing 727-200 from Cargojet?

It's currently inbound for Ottawa as https://flightaware.com/live/flight/CJT1574/history/20181109/1130Z/CYHM/CYOW

It should be leaving Ottawa for Hamilton on a ferry flight as CJT992: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/CJT992/history/20181109/1330Z/CYOW/CYHM

Flightradar24 identifies the tail registration of that Boeing 727-200 being C-GCJZ.

You might wish to share that observation with the investigators.
