Great itinerary.Edmonton YEG to Vancouver YVR, onwards to Seoul, South Korea
I've flown with Korean multiple times and have always enjoyed the experience. In fact both airlines from the ROK (Korean Air and Asiana) are excellent at what they do.

Good point. A lot of the destinations that are popular with Edmonton visitors in their own right (like L.A., Vegas and Phoenix) are already covered. The value of non-stops to places like Atlanta, Chicago and Houston would be to plug into one of the hubs of a big U.S. carrier, which would give excellent access to further U.S. connections as well as additional options for flights to Latin America and the Caribbean.

As this post was July 6th one month ago, what timeline is considered imminent?
Since that post, WestJet released their updated schedule so unless its as separate announcement coming we know its not WestJet and I learned long long long time ago that I just wont assume its Air Canada. AA made their announcements in June, United made some big routes announcements in July for their upcoming schedule, Delta is unlikely given WestJet.

Two interesting bits of information from this article about the upcoming Montego Bay flight on WestJet:
simpleflying.com
- There were 22,000 round trips between Edmonton and Montego Bay in 2019
- It's the second most popular Caribbean destination from Edmonton, after Varadero
Over 7 Hours: WestJet’s Longest Boeing 737 Flights This Winter
They include a route last served in 2012.

You’d think this would translate into more Cuban flights to Cayo Coco or, ideally, Havana.

Dozens of plane spotters came out to YEG last week to celebrate a special arrival - Buffalo Airways’ first and only 737 aircraft that will soon offer 5x weekly cargo service between Edmonton and Yellowknife.
Our community’s passion for aviation is inspiring to experience, and brings the magic of flying to life.
This aircraft has been refurbished and upgraded in the UK and is now coming back to Edmonton for final touches before starting this important cargo route, supporting timely delivery of critical goods to Canada’s North, such as food, pharmaceuticals and building materials, reinforcing YEG's position as the Gateway to the North.

Been watching this on the Buffalo feed. They could use a couple of more to replace the less than reliable Electras. If this is a gravel ready unit they could do some of the further north runs.

Unfortunately gravel kits were only suitable for the -100 and -200 variants of the 737
