If we see any reduction in transborder service next year, the blame has to be put on the airport authority. As of now, both routes are only loaded as a single weekly flight (down from 2-3x weekly), but it's still way to early for it to be finalized. The way the flights are scheduled right now, we'll continue to have an ex-swoop aircraft based in YHM next winter, so I'm interested to see how WS will schedule YHM alongside sunwing.

Honestly surprised how well TPA is doing from YHM. My above statement stands, YHM can easily handle 2x weekly to both florida destinations. As of now, we are only scheduled 1x weekly each, its on the airport authority if it remains like this. I wouldn't be shocked if WS doesn't re-add this past seasons frequency due to (a) Westjets hate for YHM and (b) the poor economy right now.
