As mentioned before, AC only has 8 B788's which would be perfect for LHR/FRA from YOW. It would be tough to get an A330 here since they are based in YUL. Our best bet is filling the AF to CDG, and waiting for AC to receive A321XLRs, or LH / BA wanting to fly to FRA or LHR/LGW. I'm sure the airport authority has been in contact with them.

That was the original excuse to build back up the hubs yes. But in the past few months they’ve been adding brand new routes. YVR-DXB (for example) I guess is more important than building back what once was in their non-hubs. If they wanted to, they would free up a 788 for YOW-LHR somehow. Or forget about the 788, they can deploy the MAX. I truly believe they are moving more towards hub-spoke like the major US carriers. If we get more than LHR and FRA with these XLRs I will be very surprised. Now that my main hope of AF serving YOW has come true, my second hope is BA with codeshare with PD.
