caribb Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Interesting article. I never knew YUL-CDG was a larger route overall than YYZ-LHR. Montreal seems to stand out well especially given our size versus the much larger competing hubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Also that Orly-Guadeloupe is the fourth largest TATL sector by forecast number of seats for end-July 2018. I never knew there was such volume. Thanks FlyboyMTL for posting the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal seems to stand out well especially given our size versus the much larger competing hubs. That cuts both ways though. A lot of those pax end up connecting in CDG. As we keep developing direct links front YUL, we should eventually aim to have YUL-CDG ramp down to lower traffic than YYZ-LHR, as it should be. This would be a sign that we are developing into a hub rather than endpoint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto-London, throughout the year, is probably a larger market than Montreal-Paris, on account that YYZ has several airlines operating daily flights to LGW as well. WS and TS are year round on YYZ-LGW, and BA is summer seasonal. YYZ even has flights to STN this year, a third London airport. Whereas YUL only has CDG year round, ORY being summer seasonal. However at peak season, YUL-CDG is massive, as illustrated. Edited June 12, 2018 by thenoflyzone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However at peak season, YUL-CDG is massive, as illustrated. Ah good point. Your probably correct. Still though the two routes are quite impressive. I’m a bit curious though why BA and AF only fly to Canada from London and Paris respectively whereas Canadian carriers took the leap to secondary cities. Surely BA could operate a Manchester flight to Montreal or Air France could launch a secondary hub (Lyon or Nice) to North America. Seems to me they are not very innovative on the Canadian market. BA is dropping YYC to seasonal service and seems to be stagnant here at YUL. At least Lufthansa uses Munich to open new markets beyond Frankfurt.

helios_the_powerful Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 BA and Air France are very hub-centric and there are barely no flights to international destinations that don't go through Paris/London. Their economies are also centered on their capital city. Germany on the other side is a lot of medium sized cities spread across the territory and that's why Lufthansa has to use many hubs just like Canada or the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribb Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Manchester though is a pretty large airport with a lot of connection possibilities. I believe BA does offer some trans Atlantic flights to Toronto and the USA, Montreal could potentially be a good city to add to that. For Air France though... they are sticking to an old model which I think is to their detriment. Edited June 13, 2018 by caribb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
