A lot of Canadians are refusing to go to the states while they have that president, I don't know how much that would play into it

The Global News article about the congestion at the airport quote 1 passenger saying it took him 90 minutes to get through the airport including baggage claim
YVR says it expects to have 90,000 passengers / day through the airport this Summer.

YVR-YYZ on AC in the top 10 revenue generating routes in the world.

Converted to USD which would partially explain the lower $/hour compared to SFO-EWR and LAX-JFK

MEL-SYD on QF right up at #2

The YYZ-YVR city pair making it into the top ten is amazing. As a kid, there were perhaps five nonstops a day maximum.
How many flights per day between YYZ and YVR, both on AC an WS, now? Ho far we have come !! Thank you for this information.

DailyHive have a piece about YVR's remote stand operation:

http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-international-airport-yvr-remote-stands-2018

The article states there are 4 flights that uses the remote stand, but so far I've only seen 3... JL (NRT), UA (LAX) regularly, and occasionally TS with no gate assigned for arrival.

Tomorrow will be interesting though, due to IRROP caused by Typhoon Maria. Tororrow's CI departure to TPE will be delayed 6hr to 9:20am in the morning while arrival will be 6hr early at 1:00pm (taking additional gate during the peak hours). Regular BR flight is currently 'cancelled' and the new time for the replacement flight (BR9D and BR10D) had not been announced... Seems like the BR plane will move to remote parking area after tonight's arrival, and if BR9D is to depart in early afternoon, it will most likely use the remote stand (and probably not D59 if the departure time is close enough to the JL flight?)

YVR's BorderXpress kiosks: Installed for first time in Europe

July 10, 2018 · The YVR Blog team

Some exciting news for YVR today – our very own Innovative Travel Solutions (ITS) celebrated the installation of 74 BorderXpress kiosks at Pafos International Airport and Larnaka International Airport in Cyprus. This marks a major milestone for not only ITS but also the whole industry as this marks the first implementation of permanent kiosks for Entry and Exit border control in all of Europe.

BorderXpress uses self-service biometric-enabled kiosks to expedite the border clearance process without compromising security. This home-grown technology has proven success in 39 other airport and seaport locations across North America and the Caribbean and allow ports to increase passenger traffic and reduce wait times – all without having to add additional space or staffing resources. BorderXpress kiosks provide a modern and efficient experience, and are a smart choice for airports and governments as they help to reduce overall operating costs and allow airports to expand passenger traffic without having to add additional space or staffing resources. The kiosks also free up border security officers to focus more closely on enforcement and intelligence efforts.

Wow. That’s amazing! How did you find this info? Seems way too hard everytime I try and look for this type of stuff.

Somebody also mentioned before there were flights on other airlines too like Sunwing or Transwing. Also doesn’t Flare (the old NewLeaf Airlines) also fly to Toronto? Must be over 30 flights a day!!

Out of Toronto, Flair just flies to Edmonton.

Hamilton, it flies to Abbotsford.

Twitter user @Towerden posted this photo from the YVR Tower.

He calls it “Full House” you’ll see why!

YVR had a power outage Wednesday night

Just noticed this posted on an travel agency website:

Now the time is almost up, who will be taking over JL's place for the second half of summer?

Seems like the US departure E85 had just been switched to a DL flight to SEA.
