������ BREAKING NEWS: Canada Jetlines Successfully Completes Necessary Transport Canada Demonstration Flights!

Early this week, #CanadaJetlines operated a domestic flight to the satisfaction of Transport Canada. Click the link to read more about the exciting news. https://bwnews.pr/3yQONJN

Re Canada Jetlines, I would think of them as Sunwing 2.0. You will probably see Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, San Jose del Cabo, Varadero, Ixtapa, etc from YEG. More competition is a good thing!

Swoop in recent schedule update removed planned service launch on Edmonton – Nashville route. The airline originally planned 2 weekly flights from 30JUN22 (initial launch date was 19JUN22), but this was never operated. Published at 0830GMT 11JUL22. https://aeroroutes.com/eng/220711-wons22bna

Flair from mid-July 2022 is suspending Edmonton – Burbank service, previously scheduled twice weekly flights, although this is being reduced to one weekly from 03JUL22. From 18JUL22 to 29OCT22, service will not be offered. Published at 0800GMT 11JUL22. https://aeroroutes.com/eng/220711-f8jul22bur

Swoop's departure goes to show that Nashville was primarily launched to squeeze out Flair.

Flair's departure from Burbank essentially ends the summer seasonal flight a bit earlier than planned - LAX still offered daily or close to daily on WestJet.

How many cities has Swoop done this to now? Oakland and now Nashville? I hope the next US city gives a big to Swoop if they ever come a calling ……..

This is nuts! Yeah kind of a weird airport but why did t they just do John Wayne from the get go? Or and Never mind those guys over at SSP saying Flair can’t fill a plane to SFO…..last Thursday it was actually oversold!

Looks like LAX comes back to daily (for the most part) at the end of October.

Good! It looks like United is also increasing service to Denver to twice daily for winter season.

Flair was very experimental for their summer 2022 schedule, a lot of unique adds. Now that they have restructured their board I wonder if they will continue to be so experimental? Or perhaps they will focus more on trunk routes.

They need to code share with One World and if not then Skyteam and offer to be a KLM connector from Edmonton.

Not in their business plan. Alliances, code share, etc add complexity and costs and they are focused on keeping costs rock-bottom. At least for now

Lynx Air launches in Edmonton

Another low cost airline option

5x weekly to Toronto, which then carries onwards to St. John's

After July 20th, they'll be offering daily flights to Toronto and adding flights to Halifax

Lynx is Calgary based and was previously known as Enerjet. They're an independent airline AFAIK

 

[occidentalcapital]

Apparently, Lynx does not offer any food or drink onboard, even for sale, so make sure you grab something ahead of time. Edmonton-Halifax with a stop in Toronto would probably be 8 hours on the plane.

Curious to see what/when for YEG (and YYC) for that matter.

What’s better than 80 new aircraft

Porter is excited to bring even more passengers to new destinations across North America with the confirmation of 20 firm orders of Embraer E195-E2 jets. This is in addition to the existing 30 firm orders we made in 2021, bringing the total number up to 100 aircraft: 50 firm commitments and 50 purchase rights.

The first delivery and entry into service out of Toronto Pearson is scheduled for later this year. More details to come.
