    There's a discussion on airliners talking about EI getting delivery of another 333 this December, and next summer putting the A330 into service on DUB-IAD. If so, that frees up a 757 and there was some discussion of it starting either YUL or PIT. TS already opperates to DUB, and lots of capacity to YYZ with TS, AC(RV), EI...any chance we'd see them start-up next summer? Cheers

    What do you envision mark_ac for the next step to aquire more gates/parking? New terminal?

    Wow!! This is exactly what I thought would happen to 10/28 as a result, but couldn't find any supporting documentation. Even in ADM's long term planning etc, they don't talk about shutting 10/28 so soon. So is it safe to say the runway will now become a permanent east/west taxiway? This could help move things along when the north ramp has congestion. Another question comes to me tho....since summer is the busiest season, and there's no de-icing in summer, why not use the de-ice pad as a remote-parking area. Can fit at least 5 wide-bodies and miltiple other narrow-bodies there.

    Any chance of this route becoming year round?

    Marc Garneau has been a dissapointment and a massive let-down on so many issues (pilot fatigue dossier, Beirut file...)which were expected to be well handled by a fellow Quebecer and Aviator...seems he too has forgotten his roots and has been sucked into the political game. Huge dissapointment.

    Morning, I can't seem to find any detailed plans/images for the work being completed to create a new off-terminal parking west of E taxiway and north of 10/28. I know the work is advancing, but would love to get an idea of what it will look like (how many spots, how large, connecting taxiways....etc) Anyone seen anything? Cheers

    Think we can see TLV going year round?? It's also a very appealing destination in the winter.

    A monopoly implies that the consumer has no other option and therefore prices are not as affected by traditional economic laws of supply and demand. Take First Air, Air Inuit and Air Creebec for example, where those villages aren't served by any other carriers, and a trip to Salluit can cost you 2000$. The rest of canada especially the large cities do not experience a monopoly. Air Canada/WestJet/Air Transat and the dozens of other carriers provide many, many, options to get places. Margins on these flights are already very very low due to the high cost of operating in Canada. Smaller population centers, Cost of fuel to go long distances, airport utilization costs not comparably seen anywhere else in NA or Europe, and higher operations costs for things such as de-icing and winter operations will all prohibit ULCC's from working here. We may see ULCCs establish with small initial networks, but, it will be almost imposible for them to grow and keep the same model before becoming just another mainline carrier. (ie. WestJet)

    Where is there a monopoly anymore in Canada? There is plenty of fair share competition for companies to open-up wherever they choose. The main problem with Canada is the size of the country does not work well with the Ultra-Low-Cost-Model (Think: Large distances to cover with minimal population). I am all for increasing competition with more carriers, but ULCC will be tough to make work here in the long term.

    With the recently announced service with AC rouge to PHX, i'm a bit surprised with the times. Doesn't an 1850 arrival land too late for some connections to Europe?

    I agree. Now whats the chances we see something in the near future to YYJ, YQE or YQR? Maybe once the 737's or C-Series are online for AC?
  14. FlyboyMTL
    Saskatoon and Regina, are two of the last un-served domestic markets from YUL. Even though they are small cities, at the moment their passengers are forced to connect in YYZ in order to head to YUL or to anywhere in Europe that YYZ doesn't serve. Are these on AC's radar and whats the chance we see them served anytime in the future? What kind of traffic O/D to YUL do these cities have? I feel like the increased flights through YUL presents more opportunity and justification than ever for these routes. Thoughts?
  15. FlyboyMTL
    Closed til the 24 as per NOTAM. why??
  16. FlyboyMTL
    This is great news. Slowly but surely we're building up a very substantial feeder network for our international operations. This will help solidify the hub. Excellent!

    Emergency landing on 06L this afternoon around 1400. Was following it on FlightRadar24 just after take-off. Great job by the crew. http://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/justice-et-affaires-criminelles/faits-divers/201703/25/01-5082256-atterrissage-durgence-a-montreal-aucun-blesse.php Video of the landing

    We desperately need a non-Maple Leaf Lounge in the transborder area...
  20. FlyboyMTL
    So...the Oran flight is back on?? I thought they scrapped it.
  21. FlyboyMTL
    Living in the past man. Time to move on.
  22. FlyboyMTL
    Im still surprised there wasn't more to this announcement.
  23. FlyboyMTL
    A very intertesting post from a thread at Airliners.net WestJet announcement in Montreal - Airliners.net (apparently from the WestJet inflight mag)
  24. FlyboyMTL
    Why would Garneau come here just for that then?
  25. FlyboyMTL
    Couldn't have said it any better.
