Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

[IanO]

Not surprising at all, but YEG-BNA (Nashville) is dropped.

Seasonal or permanent drop?

 

[IanO]

Assuming permanent given that it was such a limited scheduled flight to begin with.

 

[Airboy]

Getting ready for the Military hangars ?

 

[MacLac]

Is there something g happening with servicing the land?

 

[MacLac]

Alaska really digging their ground crew here?

Getting ready for the Military hangars ?

Last I had heard (from someone far more in the know than I on this item), was that it was WAY over budget estimates and going back to the Treasury Board?

It should be noted that WJ is increasing YYC-BNA because of this.

Lose lose.

Well WJ has to fill up their empty planes with someone…..might as well be us YEG’ers….YVR is also losing BNA, so it goes to show how desperate Alexei is…..

Sounds pretty desperate, however given how bad the travel to the US numbers are these days, I wonder how long it will be before the YYC one gets cancelled too.

WJ will never cancel YYC flights because: Danny won’t let them….and their airport itself is desperate for the gate revenue cause their monthly interest payment is over $50M/Month on their 10year old terminal….

 

[IanO]

That's expensive bandwidth.

If so, maybe they will have to raise their baggage fees again to cover this and the losses on the route because such US routes are not getting many Canadian travelers now.

YWG has also had BNA removed.
