Doesn't look like UA will be starting YOW back up in October (not surprising).

I can't find it on the schedule anywhere.

Dominion... just noticed you already posted this on the Canada forum! Sorry for the repeat.

I think YOW (easy connection to YYZ/YUL) is in the same boat (plane) as YEG (easy connection to YYC) for anything transborder until at least next April...especially with current border restrictions and extremely low demand.

It's telling how low the demand is that even AC isn't flying transborder from YYC. And I believe WestJet is near daily to LAX and 3x weekly to ATL from YYC and that's it.

We will see who gets transborder first...YOW or YEG.

I remember a while back when people thought Ottawa was important enough to send the CRJ550 up. LOL.

I expect the cuts to get worse after furloughs are extended tomorrow, in the US.

The United cuts are extended through February 2021

Yeah the odds of us getting UA back before at least February are low when all they’re doing out of YUL until then is a single daily to IAD on an E145!

As to who gets transborder first, who knows. At this point getting Saturday MCO and/or FLL on AC would be an accomplishment...even in a CR9!

CATSA Plus is now open at Ottawa International Airport:

The Ottawa International Airport Authority (Authority) is pleased to announce the opening of its new Canada/International security screening checkpoint featuring the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA)’s enhanced screening concept, CATSA Plus.

The checkpoint’s move to Level 3 marks the culmination of a comprehensive multi-year project that included the creation of a ceiling over Gate 18 on Level 2, and the closure and relocation of several concessions to make way for the CATSA Plus installation. The project was carefully coordinated with the Authority’s YOW+ concession renewal program, the latter of which has been largely halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the airport’s significant loss of passenger volumes since March, the advanced state of the CATSA Plus project when the pandemic was declared prompted the Authority to proceed once provincial regulation allowed.

YOW’s CATSA Plus Features
  • 1,638 m2 total area (1,045 m2 screening and 593 m2 queuing space) is roughly 2.5x larger than the Level 2 space – the additional space will facilitate proper physical distancing
  • Multiple divest stations which allows up to four passengers to divest their belongings at the same time
  • Bin tracking system that assigns a unique identification tag to each bin along with a photo before it enters the X-ray system which makes the entire process more efficient
  • Continuous X-ray belt for a constant flow through the screening process
  • Motorized bag diverter which allows a screening officer to reject a bin and automatically redirect it to a separate lie area for additional screening

According to some information I saw on Airliners.net re: B737 MAX groundings, Air Canada has special permission from Transport Canada to fly the MAX to keep their pilots trained as they do not have any other 737 variant in their fleet. (I haven't researched to verify this yet).

It performed AC 2353/2354/2355/2356 as YYB-YOW-YYB-YOW-YYZ - B737 MAX-9: C-GEJL

Yes, this has been the case for quite some time:
