Interesting given the significant drop in US traffic over the past 12 months.

The opposite, in my opinion. They've been turning it up overall and to even add anything in the current nasty transborder climate is notable.

They hired their own ground crew so we knew more was coming - they've increased Chicago, increased Dallas, added Charlotte and now NY.

Yes, and it starts earlier this year than it did last year. May instead of June.

In the last few years AA has been adding more seats to YYC than UA/DL combined.

US travel to the Rockies is exploding. It's better and cheaper than comparable US destinations. Like 50% or more cheaper.

So this flight is more a route that's about getting people into Calgary to get to Banff, and not a route about getting Calgarians elsewhere.

It's a bit like the direct flights from Japan 10 or 20 years ago. Many may not recall when going to Banff there was a massive Japanese population of tourists, like basically every tourist was either Japanese or German. Now you see more people from Mexico or Brazil then either Germany or Japan.

Did it leave or was it just hard to find?
