Nice to see KLM continuing 5 flights a week for 2026/27.

They'll still be in service for a while. KLM's most recent fleet plan said "one or two" would be retired in winter 2025/26 and the rest would stay in the fleet until replacements have been delivered.

Are you sitting down? This is a shocker.
AC adding two more red eyes to YYZ and three times a week to Cancun.

Well we certainly should have no trouble getting to YYZ! I assume Cancun 3X weekly is seasonal? I was hoping the announcement was going to be daily service to AMS with KLM. Still 5X weekly is OK. One thing that has improved out of YEG is the ability to go one stop to South America and avoiding the Canadian hubs. My wife and I are going to Buenos Aires through IAH with United (first time since the pandemic!), and returning home GIG - ATL - YEG with Delta/Westjet (United had a crazy long layover). Good prices too . . .

Yeah, I can do Brazil via ATL or IAH with Delta and United, respectively, with decent prices and the connections work relatively well, time-wise. I still think there would be demand for at least a 2x weekly flight to Sao Paulo and one to Colombia or Chile, but I won't hold my breath.
 
I will retract some of my prior vitriol about having to use the 49 gates to shuttle to Calgary. AC kindly used the 70 & 72 gates a couple of times last week for its Calgary shuttle, and it was gratefully accepted. There was a bitter wind outside.
 
Really annoying that almost all of the YEG-YLW (Kelowna) flights out of Edmonton at Q-400 versus almost every flight out of YYC a 737.
