We also don't know what the 763s are doing if they're off YYZ, YVR, YEG and YWG to LGW. BCN is the only route.

Maybe they will be gone by next summer. I’d heard that they wanted to unload them sooner rather than later.

I don't think so. They are still scheduled YYC-YYZ.

I heard they’ll be gone after next summer. I could see YYC-BCN with the 767 and if does well, they can use the 787 for summer 2021.

Are these the releases you meant? Are they going to do another big release this week?

Dumb question, did Frontier drop Vegas?

Today’s press release mentioned 787 YYC-YYZ daily starting in June. So does that mean there will be two wide body domestic flights next summer?

I believe there is another good size one coming... seem to be delaying the release for some reason 🤔

Already was and already is. You can see both the 789 and 763 on this route.

Yes you’re right, that both are already flying the route, but I think it’s only once daily and one or the other type flies it, depending on the day of the week.

Not necessarily. Nov. 8th YYC-YYZ -
WS662 789
WS670 763

Probably a good use at this point as it frees up the 737s for swap outs for seats or to cover other routes.

Oh that’s new! Thanks for that! I guess I was still thinking about the summer/fall schedule!

Some interesting upgauges for Winter?

Is FRA usually a 77W in Winter? I could see it, if the drop in winter Europe service allows AC to drive more traffic through FRA with their JV with LH. Returns to 789 in May.

Fewer flights to YYZ, but rouge is reduced (makes sense, winter is high season for rouge) and there's a mix of 330, 763 and 77W with mostly 321s. So all higher capacity. Interestingly once the MAX returns all the widebodies go away and frequency increases.

MalcolmTucker · #**8674** Posted **Oct 24, 2019, 4:55 PM**

Cargo capacity? 77Ws vs dreamliners for domestic capacity infill, and which sector they are relatively more efficient on?

Johnny Aussie · #**8675** Posted **Oct 24, 2019, 8:50 PM**

Last day for Hainan today and NRT and BA tomorrow for the winter? All resume last week of March.

The boost to FRA will help offset some of the intl capacity reductions. AC always seems to struggle with its 777s in winter. And upcoming sun flying definitely slowest growth in years. Max related mainly.

Wonder if said announcement will be today, or if the earlier announcements really are the BIG announcement!

A new domestic screening point for the B Concourse opened early this morning. Should help with reducing wait times during the morning peaks.

Hooray the Engineer is back! Got any photos?

hollywoodcory · #**8679** Posted **Oct 28, 2019, 6:33 PM**

Looks like the big announcement is on Wednesday.

New route to somewhere in Europe. There's the missing frame.

We're all betting on YYC-BCN?
