About bloody time on the additional 787's.

From YYC I guess we'll see ICN go year-round. Rome also? New destinations from YYC, China in the mix?
Does YYZ get some 787 intercontinental service back eventually? |
Gotta think YYZ and maybe YVR get some love this time around, even if it's transcon service (eg YYZ-YVR). ICN year round (even if not daily) would also be nice - I'm hearing they are carrying a lot of freight on the Asia flights. Some of the original 787's are also coming up for maintenance checks which will temporarily take them out of service so there is that too.
Interesting news (and good news), will make my buddy at WS happy. They make money hand of fist in the summer from what I understand but it's tougher to find routes for the 787 in winter. Leisure flying to PVR and CUN are not super efficient use of the aircraft.
May as well piggy back on this since it's WestJet related. New interline with COPA announced which makes Latin and especially South America much more accessible. My daughter could have taken advantage of this last week rather than having to double connect on United. Would be nice to see PTY go year round (or is it?).
