In other news I am somewhat ticked that Icelandair announced service to YEG this week (4x weekly starting next year).
Definitely a case of tapping into an under-served YEG-Europe market, but it is little things like this that can chip away at what we are building here in YYC, and the CAA and board should be on top of these things and work to minimize the impact it could have on passenger numbers here.
Bright spots on the horizon are the almost all but guaranteed AC YYC-PEK route (once they have the metal for it) and another mystery Asia flight that will stop in YEG as part of the routing to us.
