SameGuy Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Well, as discussed, they’d only be chipping at origin traffic at those hubs because their US partner has a minimal — almost non-existent — reach from all three. Conversely, attracting some of the origin traffic to YUL would surely be thanks to their onward connection strengths here, which is DL’s Achilles heel thanks to WestJet’s lack of confidence at YUL. But for those not continuing downline after YUL, AC will be hard-pressed to convince Americans to choose them over DL, and AC will grab almost none of the lucrative business travel market as it rebounds.

Agreed. I think this is a good opportunity for right now. Down the road there are probably better uses for some of these aircraft but for now this works and helps feed AC international traffic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamStar Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Air Canada achète 26 nouveaux avions Airbus A321neo Quote Les livraisons devraient commencer au premier trimestre de 2024, et le dernier appareil devrait être reçu au premier trimestre de 2027. Quinze de ces avions seront loués auprès d’Air Lease Corporation et cinq autres seront loués auprès d’AerCap. Air Canada achètera aussi six avions par contrat d’achat conclu avec Airbus S. A. S., qui prévoit des options d’achat visant l’acquisition de quatorze appareils supplémentaires entre 2027 et 2030. Les détails financiers des ententes n’étaient pas immédiatement disponibles. Les A321XLR pourront transporter 182 passagers, dont 14 sur des sièges entièrement inclinables et 168 en classe économique. Air Canada a précisé que les nouveaux appareils auraient une autonomie d’environ 8700 kilomètres et seraient capables d’assurer des vols sans escale partout en Amérique du Nord et, sous réserve de l’homologation pour les vols transocéaniques de Transports Canada, d’être affectés à des lignes transatlantiques. https://www.lapresse.ca/affaires/entreprises/2022-03-22/air-canada-achete-26-nouveaux-avions-airbus-a321neo.php 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, the pandemic killed this plan. So this is simply AC following through with their pre-pandemic plan. And yes, hopefully this includes SN starting YUL as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxlmontreal Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Nouveau joueur en BEL: Air Belgium Qui pourrait voler sur l'Am Nord, mais ils ne parlent que de la côte Ouest(US) pour l'instant.Si SN ne fonce pas sur YUL, ça pourrait être un possible new player? A suivre. https://www.airbelgium.com/fr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenoflyzone Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/air-belgium/air-belgium-to-south-africa-in-september-and-aiming-for-the-us-in-2023/ Avec seulement 4 A330s en config pax dans leur plans, je ne pense pas que YUL est haut sur la liste de priorités. Tandis que SN n'a pas besoin de foncer sur YUL, puisqu'il sont "déja la". Ils partagent les revenues sur YUL-BRU avec AC, a cause du joint venture A++ de Star Alliance a travers L'Atlantique. C'est d'ailleurs pourquoi ils repoussent leur plan de commencer YUL depuis 2020. Pas besoin de rajouter de la capacité sur la route pour l'instant. Lorsque ca sera nécessaire, ils pourront commencer a opérer la route vis a vis AC. Pas avant. Egalement, il faut pas oublier que TS reprends ses vols vers BRU le mois prochain. Initialement 2x par semaine, mais ca monte a 3x par semaine des le mois de Juin. Ca fait beaucoup de capacité déja, sans SN our Air Belgium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mont royal Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 AC slowly easing into its summer schedule. As of today, flights to Tel Aviv and Saskatchewan revived. One extra daily flight to Los Angeles, SAN Francisco, and Charlottetown commence. Maybe others I didn’t catch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
