Cool find, thanks. Makes you appreciate just how crowded the airspace above the Lower Mainland really is (although I'm sure this pales in comparison to LAX, Heathrow etc)

I can't imagine it being true.
Bizarre move, if true. However, isn't there an open skies agreement now between Japan and Canada?

I watched the site at about 10:30 in the morning, when most of the flights were take offs, in green, with some arrivals, in red approaching from the east to the north runway. Interesting.

What I didn't understand, however, what are the flights in YELLOW? Arrivals or departures? Great find nevertheless, as others have noted. I think we may need a third major runway sooner than we think.

I think they are local air traffic not taking off or landing at YVR - they all seem to be smaller cessna or floatplanes - ie. Coal Harbour traffic.

After recently starting flights to Sydney (not the one in Australia), WestJet has now begun operating new routes to London (not the one in the UK). To complement its existing services to Calgary and Winnipeg the airline has started serving London (YXU) in Ontario from Halifax (YHZ) and Vancouver (YVR). Both routes will be served daily.

There is a ten minute delay for security purposes.

"YVR media relations officer Alana Lawrence said to overcome security concerns relating to commercial flights transmission of flight data was delayed by 10 minutes, by which time the flight was well clear of the area or had landed."

Heading in to YVR today from Calgary, looking forward to seeing it again.

I booked just lastnight, I wonder when airlines stopped horribly gouging last minute travelers?

Good news is that you still have one arm left to reach up to the SkyTrain ticket machine and take the Canada Line in.
