How does that affect Express Flights? We're flying YTZ-YQY on Monday both AC Express.

Need to know if I should prepare the family for the chance of having Avoin rebook us YYZ-YYC-YQY on WestJet.

Air Canada Express flights operated by Jazz and PAL Airlines are expected to continue operating as normal.

Incident: UPS B748 at Taipei on Aug 13th 2025, engine pod strike on landing

A UPS United Parcel Service Boeing 747-8 freighter, registration N613UP performing flight 5X-61 from Hong Kong (China) to Taipei (Taiwan), was on its third approach to Taipei's runway 05L in gusting winds at 20:08L (12:08Z), when the right hand wing lowered after touchdown causing the engine #4 (outboard right) nacelle to contact the ground briefly.

I am wondering if anybody knows where I can find recent flight path changes? There is a much higher level of airplane traffic over my house in the SW (West Springs, Coach Hill, Bow Trail area) than I ever recall. At first I thought it as more G7 related but that is long gone.

Probably has a something to do with the closure of 17R/35L. Most flights from the west would typically land on that runway, but not that that 17L/35R is the only active north-south runway, the pattern has probably changed to allow for better spacing.

And the Fan Attic store has been gone for a while too.
