Great to hear.

Interesting YYC show on Shaw tonight talking about their expansion and massive focus on securing Beijing, Shanghai and HK.

Rocket252 · #**8543** Posted **Aug 19, 2013, 3:13 PM**

Any word on when we should be hearing an announcement on the Icelandair flight?

dansk · #**8544** Posted **Aug 19, 2013, 3:24 PM**

If YEG is indeed going to be added, the announcement for new destinations is rumoured to be this Friday.

Rocket252 · #**8545** Posted **Aug 19, 2013, 8:42 PM**

No major news conference announcements for Friday by the city or EIA.

dansk · #**8546** Posted **Aug 19, 2013, 9:18 PM**

Usually there aren't going to have press aware of releases till maybe the day before if any.

Do you know if the show is on the internet anywhere? Unfortunately I have Bell TV and not Shaw so I couldn't watch it.

Loving the numbers indeed!

Continues to be a very good year numbers wise. I'm impressed with our transborder numbers. It seems that the market has absorbed the new seats by United very well. Still don't understand why they are the only US carrier really entering our market. Especially with WS and its codeshares with DL and AA. Hopefully AA is actually going to introduce DFW finally.

International numbers are no shock. We haven't seen any additions since 2006 when AC introduced the flight to LHR (minus a few charters here or there). Numbers are going to be small percentage up or down each month during the summer until we add something new. Maybe we will find out Friday if Tuffy is right. . . If he isn't it's a good thing he doesn't live here....haha.

Loving the numbers indeed!

simplified math

0.049/12 = 0.00408 (average per month)

five months left

0.00408x5 =.0204%

there for 1.0204%

1.0204x6,830,271

=6,969,722

LO 044 · #**8553** Posted **Aug 21, 2013, 7:36 PM**

One thing to note, AC is showing the YEG-EWR going down to 6 weekly in November. I guess this is a small downgrade, though, and those KEF numbers

should bump us over 7 million.

dansk · #**8554** Posted **Aug 21, 2013, 7:39 PM**

KEF wouldn't start till next year if it happens, and EWR has always been 6x weekly.

Route 747 celebrates 100,000+ rider milestone
Wednesday, August 21, 2013
Media invited to celebration

August 21, 2013 (Edmonton, AB) – Edmonton Transit System (ETS) & Edmonton International Airport (EIA) are celebrating the milestone of 100,000 riders served by regularly scheduled bus service between Century Park and EIA. Media are invited to attend.

ETS began operating Route 747 in April 2012, linking Edmonton International Airport into the City of Edmonton’s public transit system. This convenient, low-cost transportation option to EIA has grown steadily in popularity, with Route 747 now carrying over 10,000 passengers per month, and reaching the 100,000 rider mark in August 2013.

That ain't half bad, 330 a day. Such a great cost effective way to get out there.

EdmTrekker · #**8557** Posted **Aug 21, 2013, 10:38 PM**

There is a need to tweak the hours for early am and pick up by the LRT exit and entrance doors at CP instead of on 111. Otherwise it works great.

lubicon · #**8558** Posted **Aug 22, 2013, 6:30 PM**

That works out to be about 6-7 riders per trip on average. Still pretty low but if it builds then it is a good start. It would be nice to know the ridership breakdown as it pertains to airline passengers vs airport workers (ie who is really using the service).

dansk · #**8559** Posted **Aug 23, 2013, 5:54 AM**

Sounds like Icelandair will annouce routes in September now. Fingers crossed.

Coldrsx · #**8560** Posted **Aug 23, 2013, 2:37 PM**

On the news last night they said the target is 500-550 avg. daily. for 747
