“Temporary Service Suspension for travel between March 25 and May 2, 2020 inclusive.”

Does that mean an end to Westjet Link, for the time being, as well?

For now. The US is about to fall off a cliff.

I suspect they'll be one if, if not the first, nations to break 100,000 reported cases.

With United temporarily suspending all flights to Canada there is going to be very few options out of YVR.

A story says the crosswind runway will be closed for aircraft storage. Tomorrow/Monday.

Saw a post from KLM stating that until at least May 3 only Canada destinations they will serve are Calgary and Toronto. So Vancouver completely cut.

Does anyone know how many routes remain active?

According to Google, for the month of April for at least some part of the month:

NRT,HND,PEK,PVG,CTU,XMN,CAN,TPE,HKG,MNL,SYD,LHR,FRA,MUC,KEF
YYZ,YUL,YOW,YWG,YXE,YQR,YYC,YEG,YXY
SEA,LAX,SFO,DEN,SLC,DFW,MSP,ATL

Plus BC destinations

The list ignores all WG, WS, and UA flights not yet removed in April as we know they will not be operating.

Westjet is really focusing all its efforts on Calgary!

They are still listing YVR/YYZ-DEL for April, but highly doubt those will operate. India is on lockdown. All domestic flights have been stopped.

Edit: They just moved both flights in the suspended list until April 30th.

We could probably factor out FRA and MUC if it get worse in Germany.
LH is maintaining flight to 6 destinations BKK, ORD, JNB, YUL, EWR, HND

SYD ends April 11th.

I would have liked to see EWR with AC stick around at least with a 319.

What you see today will probably change tomorrow. With borders shutting around the world and travel crawling to a hault...
Passenger numbers will be irrelevant.

This is what happens when an autocracy covers up an outbreak for 6 weeks.

With the new Chinese government rules as of Mar 29 - this flight can only be 1 per week.

Needless to say things change daily - in these unsettled times.

Starting March 29, Chinese airlines are only allowed to maintain one route to any specific country with no more than one flight per week each, while foreign airlines are only allowed to maintain one route to China with no more than one weekly flight, CAAC said in the statement posted on its website on March 26.
