SameGuy Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 From midnight to midnight, there are roughly 280 flight movements today — the vast majority being regional jets or turboprops. Reckon that’s fewer than 20,000 passengers emplaning/deplaning, or about 25% of a similar August day in 2019. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVA showed a lot of mayhem at customs, up to a 4 hour wait. Most people have already made vacation plans elsewhere. Apparently we see a lot of last-minute vacationers, or those travelling closer to the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SameGuy Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Yeah but passengers to and from the US made up just 22% of 2019’s record total, 4.5 million of the 20.3 million passengers (and most years it’s 20-25%). Allowing US travellers (with strict conditions) is a boost, but it won’t change the overall picture much. Delta has just two flights a day right now (CRJs), and United and American one each (also CRJs). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Né entre les rapides Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Le 2021-08-09 à 18:53, SameGuy a dit : It’s not more passengers, it’s just delays. Gawd no. That's how I felt too. Persistenly long delays would be detrimental to air traffic. I was relieved to learn that things were equally bad at Toronto-Pearson: it is not just us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SameGuy Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 They know as much about what’s going on (or what will happen) at the airport as an STM bus driver knows about the REM-B. Seriously. If you had asked somebody who actually knows what’s going on at the airport, they would’ve told you that the airlines would love to be adding flights back but they can’t because ADM, CBSA, and US CBP are slow (or downright refusing) to hire back everybody they let go or reassigned last year. For example, there are only 37 US CBP officers assigned to YUL, compared to 160 in 2019. So US customs preclearance is only open from 6:30 AM until 6:30 PM; the earliest a US-bound flight leaves right now — DL 4629, a 70-seat CRJ900 to Atlanta — is 7:30 AM because of that, while most airlines that flew to the US before had flights leaving as early as 5:15 AM with a very heavy rush-hour — around 8000 passengers to the US — between 5:45 AM and 8 AM. A Canada Customs officer would know nothing about this. May as well ask a signaleur at a road construction site about what’s causing the delays in the Technoparc tunnel. PS: “avant la pandémie,” YUL saw about 64,000 passenger movements per day. “Ça freinait” because it’s low season now, like every year. Everything this person told you was opinions or guesses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, good news ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
